The family expresses deep sadness at the death of Meg Young, of Beverly Hills, on January 8, 2010.
Meg was born in Harvard, Nebraska on October 1, 1925 to George and Verna Marsh. She attended grammar and middle school there and later moved to California with her family. She graduated from Orange Union High in Orange, Ca and attended Santa Ana College.
Her striking beauty and elegance led her to an early career as a fashion model. She worked for I. Magnin's and Bullock's department stores, and also graced the pages of many fashion magazines.
In 1951, Meg married Harold Fatt. The couple later divorced, but remained good friends.
Meg's love of fashion and design inspired her to open a children's boutique "Bambola" with her dear friend Gene Crowell. Their first shop was on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles, and later was relocated to Bonwit Teller's in Beverly Hills.
In 1965, Meg married noted writer/producer Collier Young. They resided together in Beverly Hills until his death in 1980. They shared a love of the arts, travel, and entertaining friends and family at their beloved Mouse House.
Meg was a longtime docent of the Getty Center and enjoyed spending time there.
Her creativity, wit, humor, and independent spirit inspired those who knew her.
Meg was predeceased by her sister, Mildred Looney in 1986. She is survived by her sister, Marilyn Thompson of Orange, and her nieces, Maureen Michel, Patricia DiCiolla, Megen Drake and Brooke Howhannesian, along with their families.
A memorial service will be held at Arlington National Cemetery this spring.
