Yvonne was a beautiful woman with many talents. She was a wonderful cook, I will never forget the hard work she and Nathan did when they made all the food for Erica and Zach’s rehearsal dinner and it was so delicious. Our love and prayers for the Young family.

To the Young family, my heart goes out to all of you. She was a very sweet sister and always had kind words to say to anyone. My greatest memory of Yvonne is her in Primary and sharing times. She had the touch to reach for those young sweet spirits who loves it when she was leading. My heart goes out to all the family, I pray for peace for them all. Knowing that we will see her again brings Comfort to us all.

My heart is very sad that Yvonne Young, who is my distance relative (Shumway) , was called home to our Father. Yvonne was so easy to talk and be with. She felt like my very own sister the minute we met. Oh how I love her and her family. She was too young, very loving and fun to be around. We never know when Father calls us home but I shall be looking to find my dear sweet friend when Father calls me home. I praise the name and person, Yevonne Young truly one of the great and noble daughter of our Heavenly Father. Until we meet again good buy my special friend!!

Lucile Kimball

Dear Nathan and family, How very sorry Stan and I were to hear of Yvonne’s passing. We wish we could be there and hope that knowing we are praying for your peace and well being at this sad time. Hopefully, in time, your hearts will not feel the deep loss you feel now. The Lord has a plan and eternal families are a joyful part of that great plan! Love and deepest condolences, Stan and Lucile
