Memories of our families being together will always be such a blessing in my life. Christmas was complete when the Young Family was with us whenever possible, considering where Uncle Frank was stationed at the time with his career in the Army serving our Nation.
Visiting them when we were kids during Summer vacations when here in the U.S. was a highlight as well ! Lots of stories there ...including being featured in the local newspaper when the children { Greg , Cheryl, Lisa , Jennifer and Steve ) decided to go for a very long walk !!!!! LOL
When I think of Aunt Norma now , having raised a family of my own ... What comes to mind is the example of enormous courage and strength she set for all of us amidst raising a family under frequent changes and challenging circumstances that come with Army life ! She did it with grace and all the while remaining strong as she loved and cared for her family <3 !!!!!
She will always be an example to me of faith in every footstep !!!
She will be missed , but I know without a doubt and am so very grateful for the blessing that we will one day all be together again... because Families are Forever !!!
All My Love,
Lisa
Aunt Norma embodied class, elegance and style unique in today's culture. She set a great example and always made conversation interesting based on her knowledge, experiences and insight. I wish there were more occasions we could have been together as a family, however, the time we did spend was short but sweet....
Aunt Norma will be missed, but knowing she's now with the Lord brings much comfort!

Mrs Young was always so gracious and kind to me, and later to my family. I still remember when we first met at Jennifer and Greg’s wedding— she was so elegant and made me feel right at home. I know that she had a deep and profound impact on her family and that she will be missed

Memories of Norma Young:
I am so grateful for having had a dear friend like Norma for so many years. John and I met Norma and Frank’s family in Europe at a military base in Belgium. We joined them in a Christian Bible Study and continued as friends into retirement in Washington, DC.
Norma was instrumental in getting me involved in Real Estate. We met each so often for lunch. We both were former school teachers and also shared that in common. Norma's Real Estate was in Virginia and mine was in Maryland. Also, our outings together as couples, were always delightful And, we were very pleased to see Norma and Frank in our church on Sundays.
I so appreciated having had a caring friend who not only shared our military heritage but also a sister in Christ, Norma’s husband, Frank was our daughter, Connie's and son, Guy's Sunday School teacher in SHAPE Belgium. Connie remembers when Frank had their daughter Jennifer come speak to the sunday school class about archeology and her faith. Guy also enjoyed knowing Norma's son, Doug during high school and Guy looks forward to seeing Doug again, soon.
Norma's husband, Frank was helpful in getting our daughter Connie, a summer internship at the American Chemical Society in DC, in their graphic design department while she was in college.
Loved the fact that Norma connected with my daughter when she visited Arizona - both Norma and my daughter Connie, share a love of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture. Norma invited Connie to tour Taliesin West together with her, which is a Frank Lloyd Wright winter home and school in Scottsdale Arizona.
Our prayers are for Frank and the family, that they will have peace knowing that Norma is at home with the LORD.
My friend, Norma was such a joy and a blessing to me, a gift from God.
Love to you All, Barbara Hocker
While our paths did not cross nearly enough, Aunt Norma’s kindness stands out among my more vivid memories. When we did get the opportunity to spend time with Aunt Norma, Uncle Frank, Greg, Jennifer and Doug it was special and something that we looked forward to with great enthusiasm. Aunt Norma now joins many of those whom we loved and will miss but have helped to enrich our lives with joyful memories and the wonderful example they provided future generations.
Much love, Frank, Sheri, Rebecca, Emily and Christopher.
I have so many lovely memories of Aunt Norma. Our families were very close and had the good fortune to live near each other in three different states over the years! I will treasure the memories we all had together. Interesting that the two Wieland girls outlasted all the boys, even though they weren’t the youngest of the five ... and the only two to make it past 80. I know it’s a bittersweet time, losing Norma is hard to bear ... thankfully she no longer suffers from the physical pain endured these past several years. God bless you uncle Frank, and Cousins Greg, Jennifer, and Doug, and your families. I love you all 😘

To Frank Young and family,
I have known Norma for many years as we were teenagers in school together at St. Mary's School in Hagerstown. I have many fond memories of time spent with her and her parents. I ask God to help you through this very sad time. God bless you.
Sincerely,
Frances Aaron Startzman
