Avalee "Pudgy" Young

Our beloved mother, Avalee “Pudgy” Young, went home to be with the Lord on July 26, 2014. She was 90 years old. She was the second daughter born to Eddie and Mary Wilson in Arkansas in 1924 Mom married the love of her life, Robert Dorn Young, in 1944. Out of that union three daughters were born: Judith Diane, Linda Gayle and Terry Lynn. Survivors are her children, Judy and Frank Sanchez and Linda and Tom Pimentel, all of Seiad Valley; her grandchildren, Frank and Kim Sanchez of Brentwood, Jamie and George Orge of Happy Camp, and Kim Hoffman of Seiad Valley; ten great grandchildren, Kalynn Pimentel of Colorado Springs, Frankie Sanchez of Daly City, Tera Orge of Klamath Falls, Alyssa Pimentel of Happy Camp, Monica Sanchez of Brentwood, her precious Destiny Bobbie-Dorn Pimentel (born 7/7/14), Ashley Baker, Hailey, Chelsea and Lacey Estep, all of Seiad Valley; three great great grandchildren, Tayven Pimentel, Alysson Charlan and her sweet Tommi-Lynn Emerson (born 7/14/14), and lots of loving nieces and nephews. Two great nieces were given her name. Mom loved her family deeply. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Robert, her parents Eddie and Mary Wilson, a sister Juanita Write, her youngest daughter Terry Lynn and her beloved grandson Robert Thomas Pimentel. They were all there to meet her. Mom lived a long, full life, she was a strong woman and did everything her own way, even right down to the way she wanted to die. Mom was the last of the oldest in our family, so she was “head honcho” so to speak. She was loved very, very much by our whole family and will never be forgotten and always, until our last dying breaths, be in our hearts forever. Rest in peace, Mommie, until we meet again. A private family service is planned. The Broken Chain We did not know that day, that God would call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You’ve left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls s one by one, the chain will link again. Unknown author
