Virginia R. Young
1937-2022
Virginia Rose Young passed peacefully away, surrounded by her
loving family on February 20, 2022 at the James Paton Memorial
Hospital, Gander, age 84.
On Wednesday February 23, 2022
we will celebrate the life of our loving mother, grandmother and great
grandmother.
Jeannie (as she was known to everyone) was
born to Alex and Ada Marie Linfield on December 16, 1937 in Humber
Mouth, later Corner Brook. She moved with her parents back
to their hometown of Twillingate at an early age.
The oldest of 5 children, Jeannie married Frank Young on July
30, 1958 and began a family. They raised four children
together before Frank’s unexpected death in 1981.
Jeannie’s strength carried her through as she provided a
loving, caring and nurturing home. She was blessed with 7
grandchildren (Nan to all) and later 7 great grandchildren who called
her Nana.
Jeannie was known to all for her sewing,
knitting, crafting, cake making, and hair dressing talents. Besides
being a wonderful homemaker she participated in both church and
community activities and was a dependable and faithful friend to
everyone lucky enough to make her acquaintance.
In later years she travelled throughout Canada to spend time with her
family and even made a trip to London, England for a special visit
with Derek.
Jeannie is predeceased by her husband Frank,
parents Alex and Ada Marie Linfield, brother John and his wife
Phyllis, and sister Marguerite Parsons.
Left to mourn are
children: Derek (Helen), Tom (Rebecca), Angela, Dale and Joy
(Derrick). Grandchildren: Bradley (Tatiana), Jennie (Maurice), Chelsea
(Milan), Jill (Cornel), Andrew (Samantha), Robert and Ryan.
Great Grandchildren Rubi, Zoey, Claudio, Abby, Mia, Lev and
Nova. Sister: June (William Wrixon), Brother: Howard (Ruth)
and Brother-in-law: Stan Parsons. Also many nieces, nephews,
extended family and friends.
In light of the current Covid-19 pandemic, the health and
safety of our families and our community continues to be our highest
priority. A public visitation will take place from Isles Funeral Home,
Twillingate on Tuesday from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. The funeral
service by invitation only will be held
at the Calvary Pentecostal Church, Twillingate on Wednesday, February
23, 2022 at 1pm. Donations in Jeannie’s memory be given to World
Vision Canada.
At this time, due to Covid 19 government
regulations proof of vaccination will be required for
both visitation and funeral.
