Tootsie Young departed this life on Tuesday, November 28, 2017, at the age of 95 years, 1 month, and 20 days. She was born in Hardin County, Tennessee on October 8, 1922, the daughter of the late Leonard and Maime Welch Crotts. On May 10, 1934, she was united in marriage to L.V. Young, who preceded her in death on August 23, 1986.
Tootsie had lived in the Big Ivy community and the Burnt Church community. She loved going to church at Old Town Full Gospel Church and loved singing gospel music. She had worked for Brown Shoe Company, C & M Cleaners, Savannah Cleaners, and Sinclair's Cafe. But most of all she was a homemaker. She could raise the prettiest flowers in red clay dirt in her yard.

Tootsie traveled to different places and had many stories of what all she saw, in the USA, plus Mexico and Canada.
