Patricia Young Obituary

As I sit here thinking about Patty, what comes to mind is what a great legacy she left behind. She will never truly be gone from us because I will always see her imprint in others. Her honesty, loyalty, work-ethic, and concern for others already exudes from those closest to her, Ted, Rick, Kristy, Carrie Lee and all her adorable grandchildren. I am sure that when she met her maker, he said to her, "A job well done, good and faithful servant". I believe God places everyone into your life for a reason, so when I tear up, and

miss her I will dwell upon the positive lessons she taught me, and thank God for placing her into my life.

The day Carrie Lee told me she was marrying into the Young family and moving to Colorado, I just could not imagine my daughter (my baby) and my dear, dear grandchildren in such a far off place.

The first trip I made to Colorado Springs my fears were laid to rest. They now had a wonderful, loving, kind, fun grandmother and mother-in-law to love them (not to mention a wonderful, supportive husband and stepdad in Rick). Oh, how Patty loved them without reserve! The love I saw in the Young family was the kind of love I wanted for my child and grandchildren. I came back to New York with complete peace that everything was going to be okay.

Even though we knew Patty for a very short time we hold her memory very close in heart. Her sickness and death have taken away a woman of love, fun, compassion and great generosity. But we know we will meet again because Jesus is our Savior. The Bible says we will know each other in Heaven and Patty and I have a lot of chatting to do about those wonderful Young/Baker grandchildren.

God bless you George and Annie, Ted, Kristi, Rick, Carrie Lee, grandchildren and family. Patty was a rare gem who will live in our hearts forever. She is dearly missed. Love, Susie and Toby/Mom and Dad T.

To my big sis, Patty. I think about you daily, I still cannot believe that you are not with us anymore. I miss picking up the phone to call and those emails of yours. I will miss seeing you every morning to play cards at mom and dad's, when I'm out there on my vacation. I will miss the movie/pizza night we always had. But I know someday we will be together again. I want to dedicate a poem to you that I found, the author is unknown;

To My Sister "Patty"

Sister is a lovely word, that always brings to mind. Memories of the happiest, and very warmest kind! Thoughts of you bring memories, for through each passing year. You've been the kind of sister, who's especially sweet and dear. If you could read my heart, then you would surely see. With every day that passes by, you still mean more to me.

Till we meet again. I Love You Big Sis.

Dear Patty, you were a wonderful sister and I am going to miss you very much. You were a big reason that I came up to Colorado Springs each summer on vacation. I'll miss those mornings when you would come over to Mom and Dad's and we all enjoyed each other on the patio in the cool mornings. Life sure was great, and having had a beautiful sister like you, life is still great. What wonderful memories I will have for the rest of my days. I miss you and will always love you.

Patty was a wonderful person and sister, and we will greatly miss her. But we have complete faith that we will see her again in Heaven. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away". (Rev 21:4) God be with Patty's family and friends while we work through the grief of losing this great soul, but with the knowledge that it is only a temporary separation. I love you Patty.

Mom, I love you and miss you every day. I hope I get to see you again some day in heaven.

I am aunt Patty's niece. Please know that my prayers and thoughts are with your family. I loved coming out to Colorado to visit Aunt Patty and Uncle Ted. She will be missed. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

We were so saddened to hear about our niece, Patty. Our love and prayers go out to the family. She was a lovely person and we will always remember her. From Aunt Jean and Uncle Larry.

We are Carrielee's grandparents and although we never had the pleasure of meeting "Patty",we have heard what a wonderful lady she was. Our deepest sympathy is expressed to all the family.

She was not only our loving mother but she was our dear friend and sister in Christ and we're going to miss her a lot. We spent many hours talking about Jesus and learning about him by reading his word over the past 6 months. This was after she became a Christian in December. She was living sick but free in her heart. "Those to whom the (risen) Son sets free, are free indeed..." We could see that in her life and now Rick and I have hope even with broken hearts that though she will not return to us, we will go to her one day. I can't wait to see her again...

We love you Mom ~
