Tulsa, Oklahoma
YOUNG -- Savilla Irene (Coppage), age 91, entered the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on a beautiful Sunday morning, August 28, 2005. The soul of our beautiful precious mother was joyously reunited with her husband and son and all her loved ones who went before her. She was born in Ft. Cobb, OK, on January 17, 1914, to Albert and Effa Coppage. Her family moved to Tulsa in 1925, where she lived for her remaining 80 years. She endured the poverty of the Depression and left school at age 15 to work to help her family. Even with this limited education, she went on to own and operate 3 restaurants in downtown Tulsa. She ended her career as Manager of the Glen Restaurant at Utica Square, now the Polo Grill. She was totally devoted to her children and her family was truly the center of her universe. She was loved, cherished and treasured by her children. She was preceded in death by: her parents; all her siblings; her loving husband, Horace F. Young in 1962; and her beloved son, Walter L. Young in 2004. She is survived by: her devoted children, son, Karl F. Young and wife, Gail of Hollister, MO, daughter-in-law, Donna Young of Broken Arrow, OK, son, John A. Young and his wife, Jeni of Ketchum, OK, daughter, Sharon Moguin of Tulsa; 8 grandchildren, Dianna, Debbie, Walter, Charles, Wade, Susan, Mike and Katie; 8 great-grandchildren, Heather, Kali, Colton, Jack, Finley, Madison, Mason and Megan; and a host of nieces, nephews and friends. She was a woman of timeless beauty and endless devotion and the beauty of her precious life will live in our hearts forever. Contributions may be made to Animal Aid if desired. Service will be at 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, at the Butler-Stumpff Funeral Home Chapel, 2103 E. 3rd St., 587-7000.

My Momma:
Another year has passed since we lost you on August 28, 2005. Three years now; it just doesn't seem possible. My heart still aches and I miss you so very much.
Tomorrow we (Johnny, Jeni, Donna and me) will be traveling to Karl and Gail's home in Branson for a family get together. You always loved that so much and were the one that really kept the family close. You were the center of our family wheel and you still are. We spend long hours speaking of you fondly...

My Precious Mom:
Today is your birthday and my heart is filled with love and appreciation for you. Of course, I think of you every day, but today is so special for a beautiful and treasured soul....my mama.
You would have been 94 today. I remember we used to always think you would make it to 100. And you almost did. You were such a strong, vibrant, woman. I always hoped I could be just like you.
Being the only daughter, I, of course, looked to you for the...

My Precious Mom:
I woke up thinking of you today on the second anniversary of your passing. I looked at the clock at 5:15 a.m. and thought about how the hospital called about that time and we all went rushing there to be by your side. Oh, Mom, I miss you so much. You were the dearest, most wonderful mother a daughter could have. How I treasure your memory and the love you had for all of us.
We had another family get together just this past weekend in Branson at Karl's. ...

To think that you would have been
93 years young, this year, Jan.

Grandma,
More than one year has passed since you left us for Heaven. What an overwhelming joy it has to be for you to be in the presence of the Lord.
But it was hard for us on earth.
Now that your second birthday since you moved on is here, what would have been your 93rd, I want to mention how I’ll never forget the last time I saw you when you were at Aunt Donna’s, in her care when you kept getting sick off and on during what would be your final days. I remember conforting...

My Precious Mom:
Here it is...another year has passed and your birthday has arrived. You would have been 93 today. How desperately I miss you, Mom. I think about how we used to hug and rock back and forth and giggle about it. How I would love to feel your arms around me now.
Yesterday we had a memorial service for Jean. Another sad loss for us, but a glorious reunion for all of you. I know you must be having a wonderful family reunion in welcoming Jean to her heavenly...

Happy Birthday Aunt Savilla! Yesterday I spent some time with Sharon and we talked about the losses over the last few years. But it was funny how even as we talked and tears would come to our eyes....we also laughed and remembered those who have gone. You raised some beautiful children and their strength in the face of the things they have had to face personally and as a family inspire all of us that there is always hope .....one favor...look in on my dad, brother and grandma from time to...
