Jeanne E. Young, 94, of Lincoln, was born on June 20, 1927 to Edwin and Maida (Henry) La Borde in Creighton, and she died March 3, 2022.
She graduated from Plainview High School in 1945, and a year later, she caught the eye of fellow Plainview High School graduate Omar Young, former World War II Naval submariner.
They were married on June 20, 1946, and started their family in Kearney, where he began his career as a Nebraska State Patrolman.
She became a terrific homemaker, wife and mother, and a successful business woman. Her husband was promoted and transferred to Norfolk, where they raised two children, and created many happy memories.
They were one of the founding families of Northern Heights Baptist Church, and were active in civic organizations.
Young was the first female President of the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce.
Upon retirement, the couple moved to Kearney, then to Lincoln, where they resided until their deaths. They were very active in the church family at Indian Hills Community Church, and various Bible studies. “They lived their lives to glorify the Lord, and are now rejoicing in Heaven,” said family.
She was preceded in death by her husband Omar, sister Mardelle Swenson, and parents.
Jeanne E. Young is survived by her son Lynn (Becky) Young of Lincoln; daughter Susanne (Bob) Hanson of Hayesville, N.C.; grandchildren: Brian (Amy) Hanson, and Michelle (Guy) Ward; four great grandchildren; brother-in-law, Terry (Sue) Young; and many nephews and nieces
