Allyson Young
Allyson Young was carried away peacefully on a “cloud of love” surrounded by her loving family and friends Tuesday.
She was born Jan. 23, 1963, in South Ruislip, England, to Margaret and Ronald Young.
Allyson was the youngest of three children, and is survived by her mother, Margaret (Jenkinson Young) Sampson, and her husband, Ted Sampson; her sister, Deborah Young, and her husband, Rick Francken; and her brother, Gregory Young, and his wife, Lois, and their three children, Mel, Natalie and Julia.
Allyson had the love and support of a large family including over 25 aunts and uncles, 30 cousins and her many nieces and nephews in the United States, Canada and England.
Allyson was a creative photographic artist, who worked with her sister, Debbie, at their studio in Cornelius, N.C.
Allyson bravely fought cancer for a year, receiving her treatment here in Pennsylvania, while living with Greg and Lois in Zelienople.
Always awake for the sunrise, she found simple pleasures in her garden and her pets, taking each day as it came and enjoying the sunsets. A lover of water and wind, she enjoyed competitive sailing regattas all over the United States, sharing many trophies with her sailing crew.
Allyson's kind and open spirit and passion for friends, the Earth and her animals, was witnessed and shared with her dearest friends in Tennessee. She was blessed with deep spiritual bonds with those she touched.
