Gloria R. Young, 68, 9584 Rose Road, Gillett, entered into rest April 10 at St. Vincent’s Hospital, surrounded by her family. The former Gloria Wurtsbaugh, daughter of the late Dale and Marguerite Eades, was born April 12, 1945. Gloria is survived by her husband, Raymond “Chicken” Young Jr.; three children, Kenneth (Paula) Young, Gillett, Kristina (Penny) Young, Appleton, and Tracey Young; a special friend Mindy Young; six grandchildren, Zach, Heidi, Alex, Jon, Charles and Little John; two great-grandchildren, Rhiannon and Ada, with two more on the way; 11 brothers and sisters and their families; two brothers-in-law; five sisters-in-law and their families; and many other relatives and close friends. She is preceded in death by her parents and her mother and father-in-law, Raymond and Alice Young; two infant children, Troy and Tori; and three siblings. Together Chicken and Gloria were the proud owners and operators of a well-drilling business. Gloria had several hobbies throughout life, including enjoying the outdoors, spending time with the “granddogs,” and watching the hummingbirds and eagles. She thoroughly enjoyed spending time and fishing with the grandchildren on “grandma’s pond.” One of her favorite pastimes was Bing0, and she sure was lucky! Friends called from 2-6 p.m. Tuesday, April 15, at Kuehl Funeral Home, Gillett. Funeral services were held Tuesday, April 15, at 6 p.m., with Pastor Gerhardt Miller officiating.
