Lois Shuster Young (91), formerly of Greenwich, CT passed away peacefully on Monday at her residence in Tampa, Florida.
Lois was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania and graduated from Penn State where she married Clarke D. Young. The couple moved to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; Staten Island, NY; and eventually settled in Greenwich, CT where Lois worked as a teacher in the public school system.
In addition to teaching and raising her two children, Lois was an active member of the DAR, Putnam Hill Chapter. She served as fundraising chairman for several years and organized a variety of events that helped support and maintain historic Putnam Cottage.
After retiring from teaching, Lois moved to Poland to live with her daughter, Cynthia, and travel throughout Europe. Eventually, she moved to Oldsmar, Florida where she was a member of Heritage United Methodist Church and enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.
Lois is survived by her daughter, Cynthia Schulz (and husband, Theodore) of St. Louis, Missouri; her son, Les Young (and wife, Nancy) of Tampa, Florida; and four loving grandchildren, Caroline, Elizabeth, Marissa, and Eric—all of whom will fondly remember “Gammie Ois’s” adventurous spirit, irrepressible sweet tooth, and wonderful sense of humor.
