Betty Jane Young, 89, of Hickory Hills in Moore Township, peacefully passed away at home, while surrounded by her loving family, on Sunday, October 26, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and warmth. She was the beloved wife of the late James N. Young, who predeceased her in 1986 after a beautiful marriage.
Born in Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County, Betty was a daughter of the late Clarence and Edna G. (Hixon) Errett.

She found joy in playing bingo and enjoyed the spirited rhythms of country western dancing, which brought her much happiness.

Young and companion, Jeannie Beblowski, of Bangor, and David L. Young and companion, Michelle, of Saylorsburg; eight grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; along with many nieces and nephews.
