It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Tammy Wright-Young, who moved on from this life on Sunday December 8th, 2024 at the age of 58. She was surrounded by all her loved ones.
Tammy Wright Young was born on November 8th in Stockbridge, Michigan to Lena and Howard Wright. She grew up in Stockbridge and later went on to live in Jackson, Michigan, then Poquoson, Virginia, before returning home.
Tammy was known for her huge heart. She would take in all the stray animals and children that found their way to her always welcoming doorstep. She spent her working life taking care of others as a home health aide. It was not uncommon for Tammy to show up at your door with a little something that she had bought or crafted for you. It is only fitting that someone so warm and giving would have Christmas as their favorite holiday. We will think of her when we decorate our holiday tree, when we see a snowman, and enjoy her famous chicken and dumpling soup.
She is survived by her husband, LeRoy Young; sons Jeremy Wright (Salida San Miguel) and Charles Jr. (Chelsea) Gauthier, Lorenzo Young; grandchildren Carter, Colton, Connor, and Colby Hurley, Bella Langley, Bringleigh and Georgia Gauthier; and her sisters, Charlene (Todd) Myers, Barbara Schwer, Sharon Shinn; and sister-in-law Roxanne Wright. She was also loved by her many nieces and nephews. Tammy was preceded in death by her mother Lena, her father Howard, her brother Howard Jr, her daughter Chelsea Hurley, and her son LaRoy Martine Young Jr.
The family also extends their heartfelt gratitude to Julie and RaChae at Henry Ford Hospital Jackson for their support and care during her final days.
A public celebration of life will be scheduled for February of 2025, hopefully amidst the beautiful snow which she loved so much.
Memorial contributions may be made to the family. Checks can be written to Charlene Myers. Arrangements by Caskey-Mitchell Funeral Home.
