Karen M. Young, a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, was born on May 12, 1951, in Pittsburgh, PA, daughter of the late Elmer and Dorothy Schweitzer. She was a vibrant spirit who touched the lives of everyone around her. Karen passed away peacefully on November 10, 2025, in her cherished home in Zelienople, PA, at the age of 74.

Karen was a devoted wife to her husband, Douglas Young, whom she married on June 17, 1972. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. As a proud mother, she nurtured and encouraged her sons, Christopher (Brandy) and Daniel (Faunna), instilling in them the values of kindness and perseverance. Her legacy continues through her grandchildren, Austin, Brady, Maylei, and Lilah, who brought her immense joy and laughter.
