PATRICIA YOUNG

Born on March 15, 1949, in Pittsburgh, PA, she was the beloved daughter of the late Loraine and Donald Proudfit.

Patricia dedicated her career to dental health, retiring as a respected Dental Hygienist. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene from West Liberty, marking the beginning of a lifelong commitment to care and service. Her meticulous attention to detail extended beyond her professional life into her personal passions, particularly crafting and sewing, where she found joy and expression.

She is also survived by her cherished step-daughters, Heather Kozik and her husband Jim of Wheeling, Danielle Black of New York City, and Kimberly Sprouse of Lakeland, FL.

Patricia’s memory will be carried on by her sister, Lynne Chauvet and her husband Mark, along with her five adored grandchildren: Kaleb Younger, Alexander Harbert, Reagan Sprouse, Rylan Sprouse, and Brady Black. She also leaves behind several nieces and nephews who will fondly remember her warmth and generosity.
