Dessie Young Obituary
During WWII, she worked at the North American Aircraft plant in Ft. Worth, Texas as a supervisor in the upholstery department. She later worked at her fathers' café in Winnsboro, Texas. While working there covering a variety of duties, she met Nello Young, also of Winnsboro. She and Nello married in 1945 while he was home on furlough. After their wedding, the couple returned to Bakersfield, California where he was stationed in the Army Air Corps. They moved back to Texas a few years later. She and Nello lived in various places in Texas before making their final move to Kalispell, Montana in 1996 where their son and his family lived. Dessie moved back to Texas in 2009 where she became a resident of the Sterling House in Ennis, Texas before moving to Legend Oaks Nursing Home in March, 2014.

She is survived by daughter Peggy (Young) Garrett and husband Mike of Palmer, Texas, son Ray A. Young and wife Karen of Kalispell, Montana, two grandchildren, Andy Garrett & Nikki Young. She is also survived by Brother Morris Wall and wife Dora of Waco, Texas.
