LENORE L. YOUNG
Beautiful lady, loving mother, happy Kupuna, admired friend and wife of deceased former Fire Chief of the Honolulu Fire Department, Richard L Young, passed away at her Waimanalo Hale at the age of 84 on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 with her family at her side.
Lenore was born on December 13, 1925 to Abigail Sing and Thomas J. Lincoln. She had 5 brothers and 4 sisters.
As a young girl, her dancing at the Kodak Hula show gave her a start in the entertainment arena and she continued to use her beautiful voice and graceful, yet fun filled Hula to the enjoyment of many family members and friends.
She was a graduate of Sacred Hearts Academy class of 1944. She loved keeping in contact with her classmates especially when celebrating at the annual alumnae luau functions.
Lenore touched many lives as a Lector at St. George Church, Waimanalo, Waimanalo Civic Club, McInerny Sales Associate and her many years as an avid bowler.
Her love for golf and passion for fun and laughter kept her friendships at the very top of her to do list. She was a member of the Hawaiian Girls Golf Club, Olomana Womens Golf Association and Moanalua Golf Club. She so loved the challenge of the golf game and the 19th hole fellowship.
She is survived by her sister Lei Matthews of Seattle Washington, her son Richard L Young (wife Regina Recca Young), daughters Maydene Iwalani Simmons, Laura Pauahi Chong (husband Michael Chong), Collette Malia Jeremiah (husband Jay Jeremiah), 8 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and 6 great great grandchildren.
