Dale May Young, age
91, passed away peacefully

in Baker City, Oregon on
January 11, 2017. She
dearly loved
life, family,
and friends
and was
deeply loved
in return.
Her cheer-
Dale May
ful attitude
Young
and sense of
humor was
an inspiration to many. She
had a fi rm handshake and
a big smile for everyone,
and her favorite color was
blue!
Dale was born on July
17, 1925 in Baker City,
Oregon to C. Russell
Mitchell and Dessie Lee
Sharp Mitchell. She was
raised in Sparta, Oregon
where her family enjoyed
ranch life. She had an older
brother, Haldor, and a
younger brother, Alva. She
and her siblings walked or
rode horseback or skiied to
elementary school which
was two miles away. She
attended High School in
Baker City for three years
then went to Nampa, Idaho
to fi nish and take college
courses simultaneously.
She graduated from North-
west Nazarene College and
the Nursing Program there
in 1947.
As a registered nurse, she
worked in Nampa and then
Council, Idaho, as well as
in Salem, Oregon.
In 1952, she married
Robert L. Young and they
made their home along
Highway 86 beside the
Powder River at the “red
bridge”. During the 54
years they lived there
together, they raised three
children, opened their
home to friends and fam-
ily, and cared for aging
parents of their own. Dale
loved doing things for
people, making quilts and
clothes, canning fruits and
vegetables, picking huckle-
berries, baking homemade
bread, and just generally
making life comfortable
and pleasant for all those
around her. She especially
loved having her grand-
children around and spent
hours reading to them and
playing with them and be-
ing as involved as possible
in their lives. Through
everything, she found her
strength in God’s Word
and prayed faithfully for
each of her loved ones
daily. She was a long-time
member of the Church of
the Nazarene.
Shortly after becoming a
widow in 2006, she went
to live with her daugh-
ter and family, fi rst in
Brownsville, Oregon and
then in Baker City when
they moved back in 2011.
She is survived by her
children, Sally Hufford
and husband Del, Jeff
Young and wife Johanna,
Susan Zoon and husband
Lawrence; grandchildren
Jennifer & Carl Peterson,
Jacinda Young, Benja-
min Zoon, Nathan Zoon,
