TERRE HAUTE - Marjorie "Mardy" S. Young, 68, of Terre Haute, passed away Friday, September 27, 2019, in her home surrounded by her family following an astounding and courageous 16-year battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Mardy was born November 30, 1950, in Fargo, North Dakota, to Edward A. and Susan (Bassett) Simonson. She was raised in Fargo and then attended Shattuck-St. Mary's High School in Faribault, Minnesota. She attended the University of Missouri where she met the love of her life, Arthur William Young, and often jested that she had "majored in Art." On December 28, 1972, she and Arthur married and together they raised three daughters, Jennifer, Meg, and Betsy; and one son, William (Pace).
Mardy had a heart for animals and aside from keeping a house and barn full of her own pets, she rescued, rehabilitated and re-homed a countless number of stray animals. She loved to go horseback riding, had a passion for literature, and indulged in a daily cold coffee treat. She will be remembered for her bright smile, light-hearted laugh, and kind and compassionate spirit.
Mardy is preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her husband; her daughters, Jennifer Walker (Chris), Meg Scheidler (Jerome), and Betsy Dillin (Matt); son, W. Pace Young; grandchildren, Cy Walker, Quinn Walker, Coy Walker, June Walker, Nora Scheidler, Alice Scheidler, Olive Dillin, and Susie Dillin; and brothers, Jared Simonson (Carrie), James Simonson, and John Simonson (Kelley); as well as several cherished cousins, nieces, and nephews.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 19, 2019, at Gethsemane Episcopal Cathedral in Fargo, North Dakota, at 11:00 a.m., with a visitation one hour prior to the service. A celebration of life will be held in Terre Haute at a later date. Arrangements in North Dakota are provided by Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home. Online condolences may be made to:
