Donna Young Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Wolfe Funeral Home - Fort Mill from Dec. 12 to Dec. 15, 2025.
Donna Osborne Young passed away surrounded by her family that so loved her on December 9, 2025.
She was born January 9, 1959, to the late Mable and Wally Osborne. She is survived by her loving husband Bill Young; sisters Debby Moss (Richard) and Cathy Meltzer (Len); nieces and nephew Lauren Spratt (Preston), Kelly Addesso (Elliott), Emily Meltzer, and Justin Moss (Chelsea); and great nieces and nephews Dalton and Henry Spratt, Greyson, Peyton and Kinley Moss, and Alice Addesso.
Donna was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was the youngest of the three sisters. After graduating from Olympic High School, she attended Appalachian State University. Two years as her sister Debby's roommate. There she joined Delta Zeta sorority and made some "sisters by chance friends by choice". She also met Bill, the love of her life. They were married for 42 years.
She may have found love in the mountains, but her heart was always at the beach. From family trips to Ocean Isle, to her yearly girl's trip with her DZ sisters. Watching the sunset with Bill and then sending all of us the beautiful pictures. Donna loved her family and friends fiercely. She had the warmth of a classic-rooted in family, traditions, and the comfort of an "I Love Lucy" rerun- yet she carried a spark that made her the cool aunt everyone wanted in their corner.
As a faithful believer, we know that Donna was greeted by her adoring parents Wally and Mable as she entered Heaven with the sunrise.
A public celebration of life will be held on January 10, 2026 at 11AM at Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church.
The burial will be private for family.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church

Donna and our families go way back to the days at Ocean Isle Beach. We had many many memories and I´m so glad I got to reconnect with her recently. She is a joy to be around and I know the Lord has a new precious angel.

Donna & I worked at Belk Stores Services at the Merchandise Mart in the Audit Dept. She was beautiful inside and out and her personality and laughter was infectious! One notable memory was an occasion to have cucumbers & ranch dressing at her apt for lunch!

So sorry for the loss of my loving niece by marriage to my nephew Bill. May her beautiful soul rest in heavenly peace. My thought and prayer are with the family.
