Helen Corrine YOUNG, 84, of Ulysses, PA, passed away Saturday, September 12, 2015 in her home. Born August 1, 1931, in Burlington, VT, she was the daughter of Louis and Merilda Duell Bombard. On September 4, 1954, in Burlington, VT, she married Richard E. Young, who survives. She was a homemaker and stay at home mom for most of her married life, making the best meals and baked goods, especially homemade bread and doughnuts. Her and Dick's home was very often a second home to numerous friends of their children. When her family was older, she went to work at the Burger Hut in Ulysses and later Cowburn's Market and Brennan's Market in Ulysses until her retirement. Helen could always be found at any and all sports and extracurricular activities that her children and grandchildren were involved in, usually accompanied by her best friend, Fanny Scott. She attended the Gold Church and made "special treats" for the children that were enjoyed after the children's message. Her granddogs, Leo, Kaine, and Sparky, lived close by and loved to visit to get a cheese treat from their Grandma Helen. Helen was a lifelong card player with family and friends.
