Born In: Glace Bay

Passed in: Glace Bay
Passed on: November 29th, 2014

Christen Mariea Young, age 26 of Glace Bay passed away on Saturday, Nov. 29, 2014.
Born in Glace Bay, she was the daughter of David and Jacqueline (MacDonald) Young.
Christen relocated to Ottawa at the age of 10. She attended St. Anne's Elementary and later Holy Spirit Elementary and Sacred Heart Catholic High in Stittsville, Ont. Christen enjoyed playing soccer and spending time with friends.
Three months ago at the age of 26, Christen returned to Glace Bay with aspirations of continuing her career as a personal support worker. It was not long before she began to realize her goal and commenced her training with the Cape Breton District Hospital Association. It was the beginning of what she hoped to be a long career in the place she loved.
Christen was well known for her bright and cheerful personality and loved by everyone she met. Her kind heart made her a natural caregiver to those in need, stray cats included and she would travel to the moon and back to help a friend.
Christen’s fun loving spirit and positive influence on the world around her ended far too soon and her absence will forever be felt by those who had the privilege to meet her.
Besides her parents, she is survived by her brother, Jarrett Young (Bianca Zorzi), grandparents, Delores (Matheson) Young and Rita (Cote) MacDonald as well as several uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews.
Christen was predeceased by grandparents, John Young and Archibald ‘Archie Blue’ MacDonald.
Visitation will be held on Thursday from 2-4, 7-9 p.m. in V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay with cremation to follow.
The funeral mass officiated by Fr. Norman MacPhee will be celebrated on Saturday, 10 a.m. in St. Anne’s Church. A reception will be held in the church foyer.
Memorial donations in Christen’s memory may be made to your local SPCA.
