Yvette Lee Young

My Mother, Our Sister and Our Friend “I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall be continually be in my mouth” Yvette Lee Young, was born on February 5, 1969 in Salisbury, MD to Lucius and Marjorie Young. She was the youngest of seven children from this union. Yvette received her education in Wicomico County attending North Salisbury Elementary, Wicomico Junior High and graduated from Wicomico Senior High School in 1987. She also attended Wor-Wic Community College. It was in high school that Yvette accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior and she was baptized under the ministry of Elder Glen Robinson of Mt. Enoch Holy Church. She was attending Radiant Church in Greenwood Delaware under the leadership of Pastor Michael Bell. Yvette was employed at Standard Register for 14 years and was currently employed at Amick Farms. Anyone who knew her was familiar with her beautiful smile and contagious laugh. Family was everything to Yvette and she absolutely loved being with her family and friends for backyard barbeques and holiday gatherings. On September 21, 1991, Yvette’s life was transformed when she gave birth to her one and only child, Victor White. Her son was the center of her life and being a grandmother brought a special joy and new happiness to her world. She was truly grateful for the blessings that God had given her and she was not ashamed to let the world know that she was “Blessed”. When she encountered a difficult situation, she would always say “God is in control”. January 8, 2019, God picked this beautiful flower from his garden. She is preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Vaughn and Robert Young, and a nephew Adrian Donaldson. Left to cherish her memory are her beloved son, Victor White and his wife Diamond, her grand-daughters, Kaliyah and Imani, her brother and sisters, Lester Young, Doretha Wilson, Vivian Donaldson (Earl) Alece Young, Beverly Jackson, and a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, cousins, family and friends. Yvette had many friends and acquaintances who were points of light in her life. These include a special friend, Johnny Powell, Thomas and Donzella Winder, Evangelist Kim Deshields, Terrell Sample and her sister-friend, Clytrice Austin-Watson. Yvette will be greatly missed by her family and friends, but we will forever hold her in our hearts.
