Susan Kay Young

Susan Kay Young, 43, of Reagan, ascended into Heaven on December 19, 2007, to be embraced by our Lord God.

Susan was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and niece.

Graveside services were held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, December 26 at Waite Cemetery in Reagan with Rev. Jimmy Phillips officiating.

At the age of 18, Susan married her best friend Richard Young of Reagan.

Referring to each other as soul mates, together they raised their three daughters, Amanda, Kayti, and Sidney Young.

Susan was the kind of mother that read to her children before tucking them in at night, she left notes of encouragement inside their lunchboxes, and later in their purses, or on their voice mails.

She was considered by her girls to be one of their very best of friends.

Not only was Susan a compassionate mother but also a pure joy to her two grandchildren, Rheily Young and Andrew Gonzales.

Susie, as she was called by her mother and sisters, now joins her sister Vicki Kohl in Heaven to watch over their mother Bertie Solley of Mexia and two remaining sisters, Terry Woycheshin and Lori Bowman, both of Marlin.

Susan was also preceded in death by her role model and mother-in-law, Mildred Young, father-in-law Charles Lendon Young, brother-in-law John Kohl, and nephew Cody Kohl.

In the last few months of her life Susan was diagnosed with an inherited illness, but despite the obstacles in her mind and the people enabling her she was overcoming it.

The family sends a special thank you to Rocky Underwood and Adams Funeral in Marlin for all that they've done.

In honor and in memory of Susan donations can be made to Mental Health America as well as to The American Heart Association.
