She was preceded in death by her husbands, Harry L. Young Jr. and Robert P. (Bob) Wright; grandson, Michael Hutchens; and daughter-in-law, Chris Young.
She is survived by her daughter, Susan Y. Hutchens of Toano, Va.; sons, Charles G. “Chuck” Young, and his wife, Gwen, of Williamsburg, Va., and Douglas W. “Doug” Young of Williamsburg, Va.; grandchildren, Andrea Sheffield, Steven Hutchens (Eleanor), Jennie Swiechowicz (Tim), Emily Chapman (Colin), Ryan Young, Sarah Kiel (Isaac) and Rachel Young; and eight great-grandchildren.
