May worked as a bookkeeper and as an aid at the CLSC and Butters. Later in life she took courses to become a Reflexologist. She loved to watch her birds and her beautiful flowers. She enjoyed her annual trips to "Apple Country" with her sisters and extended family and in later years was accompanied by her ­children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
May was predeceased by her parents, Robert Kirby and Helen Bullis and by her husband Benjamin Young. She leaves to mourn her life companion Roger (Sweet Pea) George, her four children, Sherry (Daniel Fontaine), Dean (Susan Cunnington), Jeffrey (Judy Annetts), Aulden (Anita Lewis ) her grandchildren; Nathan Fontaine (Emily Miller), Nelsha Fontaine (Daniel Royea), (late) Michel Fontaine, Lindsay Young (Toufic JeBailey), Kirby Young (Chad Bobbitt), Samantha Young (Dylan Bryant), Emily Young (Marie-France Poulin), (late) Karley Young, Shawn Young (Monica Nanni), and Derek Young; her great-grandchildren Benjamin, Preston, Rowen, and Kamryn Fontaine, Bishop, Evianna, and Claire Royea, Alice and Charlotte Cox, and Albert and Vincent Young,
