YOUNG: Margaret Elaine
Posted By On July 15, 2022 @ 12:00 AM In Goderich, Obituary | 49 Comments
Margaret “Margie” Young (nee Henderson) passed away peacefully on July 15th, 2022. Always the life of the party, she will be greatly missed by Ken, her husband and partner of 50 years, and beloved sons John (Joan), and Ron (Natalie).
Margaret was immensely proud to be Grandma to Colin, Corey, Skyler, Bryson, Everest, and Brady. Survived by her sister Joyce Kingsley, father-in-law Vince Young, and brother-in-law Kevin Young. Her legacy of mashed potato making will be kept going by nieces Nicole (Dan) Griffin and Veronica (Mike) Mabon.
Pre-deceased by her parents John and Ruth Henderson, brother Bob Henderson, mother-in-law Betty Young, brother-in-law Rick Kingsley, granddaughter Paisley Young, and best friend Nancy Ferguson.
Margaret’s joy filled every space she entered and made everyone smile. She loved to meet people, tell a good joke, and everyone was her “pumpkin”, “sweetie”, or “tiny baby”. She made grocery shopping a memorable experience for everyone in her years at Zehrs, both as a teller and in the garden centre.
Bingo halls will be quieter without her cheerful presence, and every hummingbird will be a reminder of her. To her husband and sons, she will forever remain the undefeated wrestling champion “Mauler Kissing Mommy”.
Donations in lieu of flowers may be made in her memory to Make-A-Wish Foundation.
A private family gathering has been held.
Our deepest condolences to all the family. We had alot of fun times with Marg. She had a zest for life and will be missed by us all.
Our condolences to Ken and families.

Dear Ken, Vince & family,
We were so sorry to hear about Marg. She was such a character & we mean that in a good way! So friendly & fun-loving. Speaking of nick-names, she & our dad were Legion buddies & she always called him “Walnut” which he thought was great. We hope that many happy memories of Marg will comfort you all at this time.
Joanne, Steve & Winnie
We had just been talking about Marg a coupe of weeks ago, remembering how much fun she was when she worked at Zehrs. Always a laugh and on a personal note she was delighted that our first born granddaughter had the middle name of Maggie. Marg always teased us that our little one was named after her! We haven’t seen her in years, but will carry her memory with us always. Hugs to you Ken and your family.
Dear Young family – Margie was a beautiful person to know – and always remembered.
With sadness and sympathy to each of you – Sincerely Cecelia and Don Denomme

Our thoughts are with all of you
Bird and Ella May
Margie was always a joy to be around. One of the most memorable people in town.
Our deepest condolences to Ken the boys and the entire family.
Marg was the life of our parties too! When I rented the other half of Ken’s house on Quebec Street we held many parties. One was a toga party. Marg was in full toga attire and yukking it up like a party animal. I can still see her inflating party favour condoms! What a hoot!
She was “one of a kind” and I share in the family’s loss of this kind lady.
We will all remember her with fond thoughts.
Condolences and prayers to the Young family on Margie’s passing. Margie , such a kind and cheerful lady. God bless you Margie.
I was very lucky to spend quite a few years sitting on her porch just visiting. Felt like I knew her much longer. We would just talk about our families and enjoy cigarettes together. Anyone who walked by she knew their names and names of their their dogs. Which ones were nice and which ones weren’t so nice. Lol. My deepest condolences for your loss in your family Ken. I will miss her pep talks and her kind heart.
Ken and Family, we are so sorry to hear of Margie’s passing. I had the privilege of working with Margie at our Zehrs in Goderich and she was the “Life of the Party”. We would have constant line ups at her till all the while we had other lanes open as our Customers just loved Margie and wanted to go through her till only. During our Garden Center season, what impressed the most was how much she cared for the plants and how hard she worked each and every day. Again, our customers would flock to our Garden Center just to see Margie as she had an infectious way of putting a smile on everyone’s face. Margie was a one of a kind and I feel very blessed to be able to know her!
My Condolences to the family, Margaret had such a kind and gentle soul and a amzing sense of humor with a great spirit ❤️
So sorry for your loss. Marg was an amazing, loving, funny person who was so full of caring and really loved people. So sorry she is gone.
Ken, I am so sorry to hear about Margie. When I think of her I always smile. She had such a beautiful and robust personality and always made me feel like I was a best friend when I saw her. She will be missed by many people.
So sorry to hear of Margaret’s passing. Please accept my sincere sympathy, Ken, Joyce & families. Remembering the times she came to London as a kid to visit her Aunt & us cousins. May she be at peace now.
Dear Ken and family, Trudy and I send our sincere condolences on your loss of Margie. A most wonderful person.
