It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Ann Young. Ann passed away peacefully on Saturday August 12th at 95 years of age at her residence in Toronto. Ann moved from her hometown of Lindsay, Ontario to Toronto as a young woman and worked in the financial sector. In time, she met her future husband Jim through her church association.

Ann leaves behind her beloved husband James (Jim) L. Young, her children Gary, Dianne and James, along with daughter in-law, Tina and late son-in-law, Ian. She will be fondly remembered by extended family, Audrey and Amber. Ann loved her grandchildren James, Lauren, Jonathan, Jamie, Samantha and great grandson Brody. She was a friend to her surviving sister-in-law, Helen as well as her late brother in-law, Duncan. With the upcoming wedding of her grandson, James, Ann was very much looking forward to welcoming Sarah as a member of the family.

Ann was a loving and dedicated wife and mother who was devoted to her family. She was known for her sense of humour and warmth and whose gentle presence put everyone at ease. She was thoughtful and caring and loved life and all that it had to offer. We will forever miss her smile and laughter and her warm, caring and loving nature.

Ann and her husband Jim enjoyed many common interests throughout their 63 years of marriage. They enjoyed travel and especially their many excursions to Florida which was a tradition that began on their honeymoon. Ann and Jim were avid sports fans and mom’s number one passion was following her beloved Toronto Blue Jays. Ann’s favourite activity was her daily walking routine that continued right into her senior years. She enjoyed anything that involved family and especially being around her grandchildren.

Visitation will take place at Mount Pleasant Funeral Centre on Monday, August 21 at 1:00 pm followed by a memorial service at 2:00 pm. A private interment will follow. Light refreshments will be served after the service. Donations can be made to The Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation.
