Doris Yvonne Lightbody Young, 78, of Yulee, Fla., passed away Wednesday, March, 14, 2018.
She was born November 5, 1939, the daughter of Arthur Fredrick Lightbody and Norma Rae Lee Smith.
Her love for life was infectious and she enjoyed nothing more than to spend time with family and friends. Always ready to go and experience all that she could, she gave of herself and to others in need on many occasions. She knew no stranger. It made no difference who you were, what color you were or the life you lived. Those things did not matter to her. She saw it as an opportunity to share God’s love for them and whatever gift of generosity she could give them. All her accomplishments in life were based on the foundation she and our dad had in their relationship with God. John 3:16
She will be remembered as a loving, kind and giving person, always ready to share her irresistible smile and humor. Our memories of you are never forgotten but lived through them. We love you, mama (meme). God blessed us with a beautiful and loving mother.
Her husband , Bobby (Bob L.) Luther Young preceded her in death. She leaves behind her sisters, Norma Jean (Lightbody) Landon (Lawton) and Darlene (Lightbody) Donald (Larry), and her children, Robin Young de Boer (Douwe) and Robby Randall Young (Julie). Her grandchildren include Auriel Weinberg (David), Christopher Young (Natasha), Marcus Young, Savannah Young, and Quest Belcher, together with all her great-grandchildren, Madison, Janna, Jadon, Alisa, Noah, Chloe, Caleb, and Jacob, and all her extended family whom mom (meme) loved as her own, and especially her new additions, Lincoln, Stiner and Baxley.
A private memorial was held at Good Samaritan, Dowling Park, Fla., with graveside services held at Concord Primitive Baptist Church in Sparks, Ga. in accord with Boone Funeral Home of Adel, Ga.
