Mary Young

For none of us has life in himself, and none becomes his own master when he dies. For if we have life, we are alive in the Lord, and if we die, we die in the Lord. So, then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s possession. Happy from now on are those who die in the Lord! So it is, says the Spirit, for they rest from their labors. Mary Young was born on July 15, 1937, to Leonard Trammell and Maureen Marks in Gurdon, Arkansas. She was a Baptist and former employee of Reynolds Metal Company. On Tuesday, January 11, 2011, in her 73rd season of life she left this world of time to live forever in eternity. She was welcomed home by her parents and husband. Mary’s gentle spirit will be missed by many. She leaves in God’s care her only son, Earnest Young and his wife Shannon of Gurdon, Arkansas; two brothers Willis Gill of Gurdon, AR and Lonnie R. (Jean) Nixon of Milwaukee, WI; four grandchildren, a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members and friends. A memorial service to commemorate her life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, at Mt. Canaan Baptist Church where Rev. Johnny Harris is the pastor and will render words of comfort. Cremation services are provided by Williams Funeral Home, Inc.
