FRANKLIN – Wardie Lovalle Young, 82, was born on Feb. 27, 1938.
Wardie left his earthly life for his permanent home in Heaven on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2021.
He left behind his wife of 60 years, Judy Price Young; and his daughter, Dede Marr (Bill), of San Angelo, Texas, whom he adored. Greeting him in heaven were two of his brothers, Ray and Clifton (Chip), and his parents, Louin and Lillie Young.
He was known as PopPop to his grandchildren, Derrick Marr (Jamie), Chelsea Lyndaker (Patrick), and great-grandchildren, Kara and Kaden Marr and Odette Lyndaker. His siblings were Laverne Tippett and Dale Young of Franklin, Doyle Young of Five Points, Alabama and Bonnie Angel, of Gastonia, North Carolina.
Wardie has always been a shining light to our family in so many ways. He would address most people by name, even though he had not seen them in years. He loved to laugh and often pulled jokes on his mom. For example, when they saw what they referred to as a “seeing eye dog” in the front passenger seat of a car, he asked her if she thought the driver might be blind.
Wardie was happy to help anyone in need, he loved his family and was such a godly man. He was a member of Mountain Grove Baptist Church and enjoyed his friends there.
No services are planned at this time. A time of remembrance will be held at a later date.
The family is so appreciative of Lisa, Donnie, Patty and Dr. Amy Hinton of Four Seasons Hospice Care.
We can only imagine his huge smile when he heard these words: “Well done, thy good and faithful servant.”
