Young
Deer Lake, NL
Beth-Ann Sarah (Pittman) Young, devoted wife and loving mother of three beautiful children, passed away on March 25, 2020, at the age of 39, at Western Memorial Hospital in Corner Brook, NL.
She was born on Sept 2, 1980, in Corner Brook, NL, to John and Georgina Pittman, and on this day her instant and life-long bond was created with her only brother, Christopher.
Upon graduation of high school, Beth-Ann continued on with her studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland where she graduated with a Bachelor of Education in Primary-Elementary in 2002. After graduation, she moved to Dartmouth, NS, with Michael, where she worked as a school teacher. She loved working with children and they loved her back equally.
In 2004, she married her high school sweetheart, Michael. They grew their family and Noah, Olivia and Maggie were born. While raising a family, working full time and expecting her third child, Maggie, she obtained her Master of Education in Literacy in 2011 from Mount Saint Vincent University.
In 2012, the family decided to move home to Deer Lake, NL, so that Noah, Olivia and Maggie could be close to family and spend time and grow up with their grandparents and cousins. She continued to work part-time at the schools in Deer Lake and fully enjoyed her teaching career in NL. Her love of children also inspired her to be a Sunday School teacher and a Girl Guide Leader.
Beth-Ann was predeceased by her father John (December 2011), her mother-in-law, Jean Young (December 2011) and her Super-Hero cousin, Isla Short (November 2017).
Beth-Ann will be forever loved and remembered by her husband and best friend, Michael, and their precious children, Noah, Olivia and Maggie, her dog Charlie, by her mother Georgina, and her brother Christopher (Nichole). She also leaves to mourn her father-in-law, Freeman Young (Juanita), brother-in-law Wade Young (Dana), sisters-in-law, JoAnne Peckford (Jay Marche), Jackie Swantee, Jenna Young-Blanchard (Keith) and Shelley Coleman (Drew).
Beth-Ann will also be fondly remembered by her nephews Andrew, Ethan, Caden, and Conor and nieces Emily, Allison, Callie, and special cousin Sophie, and extended family and her many dear friends.
Beth-Ann will be remembered for her loving personality, her commitment to her family and her zest for life. Her life motto was ‘Always Be Kind.’
