She was born April 29, 1937 to David and Ethel Price in Kansas City, Missouri. She was a wife, a mother, a homemaker and babysitter for many years. She loved those years of babysitting and all of her families. She married Donnie Ray Young on May 19, 1956 at the Jackson County Courthouse. They spent 63 years together.
