Notes |
- Dolores Anne (Buck) Young, entered into rest on November 2, 2014, All Souls Day. She was born September 4, 1928, in Bathgate, North Dakota, to William and Ellen Buck. Dolores married John Joseph Young on November 11, 1949, in Lincoln, Neb., and their family legacy began.
She was the mother of 11 children, known as Granny to 29 grandchildren, and as Granny Great to 9. This made for wonderful celebrations at birthdays, holidays and other family gatherings. She created treasured memories that will last many lifetimes.
Dolores loved life and lived it to the fullest. Over the years, she was active in the Cathedral of the Risen Christ Parish and served as Altar Society president. She was a founding member of Cathedral's Perpetual Adoration, which recently celebrated its 55th year of existence. She was a volunteer for The Pink Sisters and for The Legacy Retirement Center and other assisted living communities, helping community members get to Mass.
Dolores loved to entertain and as a member of the Navy Wives, the Catholic Daughters of America, and various bridge groups, she excelled at it. Most memorable are her Groundhog's Day Luncheons held each year for the last 48 years. Being invested as a Lady of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem was an honor of a lifetime for her. Her faith was at the center of everything important to her.
She enjoyed her traveling experiences, including trips on the Oregon Trail with her grandchildren, Rome, Jerusalem, Denmark, Taiwan, Brazil and many visits to Vail with friends and family. Church, bridge, golf, and family were her passions.
Family members include her children: Joe (Joy) Young, Jeanne (Dick) Ostlund, Bob (Eileen) Young, Fran Jones, Nancy (Larry) Becwar, Terry (Jim) Byfield, Sharon (John) Beckwith, Suzy (Tony) Huffer, Chris Young, Cathy (Jeff) Hausman. Grandchildren Dana and David Young, Jamie (Andy) Jakub, Lissy (Brad) Helmink, Abby (Tom) McCleister, Summer and Scott Young, Tim (Jessica) Jones, Kevin (Shari) Jones, Elizabeth Jones, Lane (Paige) Becwar, Grant and Kaity Becwar, Julie (Derek) Nordquist, Amy, Danny, and Brian Byfield, Matt and Adam Beckwith, Whitney and Kelsey Huffer, Alison, A.J., Angie, and Anna Young, Will, Hap, Gigi and Huey Hausman. Great grandchildren: Sam, Owen, and Elliot Jakub, Oliver and Gus Helmink, Carter Jones, Payton and Ty Shoup, Linley Nordquist. Brother, Don (Joyce) Buck. Sister-in-law, Betty Buck. Brothers-in-law, Charles Hinchey and Henry Morgan, and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by husband, Joe and son, Steve.
