Judy Ann (Cecil) Young passed away on August 24th at IU Hospice House. She was born in Waverly, Indiana on August 28th,1938 to Pearl E. (Esarey Eve) Cecil and Charles E. Cecil. In 1955 Judy graduated at 16 from University High School in Bloomington, Indiana and later that same year married Lonnie R. Young. Judy and Lonnie celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary on August 18th. Judy and Lonnie raised their family in Unionville where she attended Little Union Baptist Church and later moved to Bloomington. Judy’s career as a secretary started soon after graduation. Her jobs included working at the Bursar’s office at Indiana University and secretary for Unionville Elementary School. She then worked at the IU Credit Union where she retired after 21 years in the loan department. Judy knew no strangers and was helpful to everyone. She had the ability to see people and accept them for who they are. She made us feel unique and special and made us know that we were loved. She shared her humor and kindness freely, along with her opinions. Judy was an avid reader. One could write volumes about her adventures with school field trips, church events, little league games, band concerts, graduations and company picnics. Her grandchildren enjoyed shopping and road trips with tons of laughs and good times. Her caring nature and her robust sneezes will be missed. We will always remember her smile. Judy is survived by her husband Lonnie R. Young; her children Terri Whiteman and John Lettelleir, David and Becki Young, Traci and Michael Leturgez, and John and Stephanie Young; grandchildren Sarah and Marcus Meyer, Thomas Whiteman and Soully Abas, Nicole Young and Chris Hedden, Issac Young and Prezi Bezara, Samantha and Josh Eads, and Lilly Leturgez; Great grandchildren Lynnlee June Meyer, Jackson Eads, Bentley Eads, Greyson Eads and Presley Eads.
