Rebecca "Becky" Young died at age 59 on 1st Lent, Sunday February 21, 2021, in a home fire. Her life will be celebrated at St. Francis Episcopal Church when it reopens for services following Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. Her ashes will be interred in a private ceremony beforehand.
Becky was a graduate of Mt. De Sales High School and of Mercer University with a B.A. in Philosophy and Spanish. She worked as a paralegal title-abstractor for several years before disability overwhelmed her. Becky's life was beset with ups and downs as she battled with episodes of mental illness and addiction. Her family cared for and loved her through these times. The A.A. community of Macon supported and sustained her over many years for which we are sincerely grateful. "When she was good, she was very, very, good." She gave of herself unstintingly and found joy in the fullness of life, in spite of personal misfortune.
Becky was preceded in death by her father, U.S. Army Captain Luther D. Young III, a highly decorated helicopter pilot in Vietnam. Survivors include: her son Soren Kane Young of Columbia, SC; mother Susan Locke and step-father Russell Locke of macon, GA; sister Hillary Kee and husband Chad Kee of Cumming, GA; brother Patrick Locke of Savannah, GA. Becky especially loved and delighted in her nieces Isabella and Olivia Kee and Addison Locke. Survivors also include relatives on her father's side in New Iberia, Louisiana.
It is gratefully suggested that any donations in her memory be made to St. Francis Episcopal Church building fund, 432 Forest Hill Road, Macon, GA 31210.
