Feb. 12, 1939 – Dec. 17, 2025
Lena Young was born Feb. 12, 1939 to Mary and Alex Fedan in Gilwood, near High Prairie. Lena and her five siblings Elizabeth (Betty), William (Bill), Nellie, Larry, and Lorne grew up on the family farm with their loving, hard-working parents. She had many fond memories of her childhood there and the neighboring Gilwood families.
Lena was the heart and soul of the family. She was always lending a helping hand to one family member or another. She loved her family fiercely.
Lena married Lloyd Young in May of 1964 and together they had two children, Marvin and Kevin. The family grew as Marvin married Tori who added two grandchildren (Colton and Mikayla) for Lena and Lloyd. A great granddaughter, Melody, was added to bring a new spark of life.
Lena will be fondly remembered for her love of family and her passion for gardening, surrounding her home with beautiful flowers.
She was predeceased: by her parents; sisters Betty and Nellie; brother Lorne; and sons Kevin and Marvin.
Lena’s ashes will be interred in the spring.
The family wishes to thank the staff of the High Prairie Health Complex and all those who cared for Lena in her last days. Great kindness and compassion was shown by so many people. A special thank you to her dear nieces and their families, Karen, Gail, Kent, and Ryan.
