June B. Young

June B. Young, a resident of the Verde Valley for 44 years, died at her Cottonwood home March 1, 2008, at the age of 91. She was born Aug. 5, 1916, in Minneapolis, Minn., the daughter of Hilding and Blanche (Beardsley) Lindquist.

June was fortunate to enjoy the roles of mother and homemaker until all of her children were grown; then in the 1970s she worked at an Indian jewelry store in Sedona. Later, she and her husband, Lawrence, worked together in real estate until the time of her retirement.

Even after retiring, June kept active in the community by taking her interests and love for animals, and volunteered her time and effort to the Humane Society's Good-Buy Shoppe in Cottonwood. This was a calling she undertook up until just three years ago, totaling 15 years of service.

June is preceded in death by her husband, Lawrence J. Young. She leaves behind her son, Larry Young of Phoenix; and her two daughters, Sue Young of Oceanside, California, and Patricia Young-Kreider of Cottonwood. Private family services will be held in her memory.

Donations can be made in June's name to: Humane Society of the Verde Valley, 1502 W. Mingus Ave., Cottonwood, 86326.
