Elizabeth Young's Obituary
Kittery- Elizabeth Young, 88 of Emery Lane in Kittery died on July 22, 2016 following a period of failing health.
Born on October 13, 1927, and raised in Newburyport, MA, she was one of 12 children of the late Peter and Demetra (Panaretos) Jeuvelis. She met and married her loving husband David Young and together they raised three children while living in Andover, MA. During those years, she worked as a nursery school teacher at the Jewish Community Center in Lawrence, MA, and spent summers enjoying her work as a camp counselor for the Jewish Community Center Day Camp.
After the family had grown, she and David moved to Saco, ME, where they were both very active with the Ferry Beach Park Association run by the Unitarian Universalist Church.
When they were ready to retire for the second time, they moved to Kittery ME to be close to family and their beloved grandchildren. Elizabeth and David never missed a game, activity or event that their grandchildren were in. Aside from her family activities, Elizabeth loved movies, Greek dancing and her time spent traveling with David.
Elizabeth is survived by her loving family; daughter Merle B. Young, son David E. Young, jr, daughter Gretchen Tackett and her husband Jeff Tackett all of Kittery and Kittery Point, and her grandchildren Zachary R. Tackett and his wife Hannah, and Corey E. Tackett.
