June 7, 2000-Decenber 5, 2020
It is with great sadness we announce our beloved Molly Claire Young unexpectedly passed due to a tragic car accident on December 5, 2020 at the age of 20. She made the journey to the next life with one of her best friends, Kyra Winslow.
Molly was born June 7th, 2000 to Charles and Kimberly Young of St. Michael, MN. She is survived by her devoted parents and loving sisters Maddi and Emma Young (fiancé Eric Stevens).
Molly was studying nursing at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. She attended St. Michael-Albertville High School graduating in 2018 with Honors. She was a Girls’ Soccer and Hockey team Captain, and self-elected fishing captain. She loved mentoring, a wide variety of music, and good one-liners. She had many good friends and showed us how to love life by living it to the fullest. Molly always had a twinkle in her eye and soft smile. She always entered the room with her long “Helloo”, and a smile that brightened the room.
Molly was preceded in death by her grandparents, Joseph and Helen Young. She is survived by her grandparents, Duane and Noni Smith. She leaves her many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and her extended family of close friends. Who she leaves with a smile but a broken heart.
Molly had the most beautiful, unique soul. Please honor her memory by taking care of one another.
Visitation is from 11am-2pm followed by the Funeral Service at 2pm on Sat., 12/12/20 at St. Michael Catholic Church, 11300 Frankfort Pkwy NE St. Michael, MN 55376. Livestream: https://m.youtube.com/c/StMichaelCatholicChurchStMichaelMN

Sending our deepest condolences to Molly’s family in this tragic situation. We remember Molly very fondly from her days at Maplebrook Soccer. So sorry that her light was extinguished way too early! We cannot imagine your heartbreak, and we are praying for peace and comfort for all of you.
Young family,
We are beyond heartbroken at the loss of Molly. We have so many wonderful memories of Molly and of our years with MBSA Rage soccer. Molly was such a kind person and a great team mate.
The Dube family grieves with you and sends our love at this time of loss.
Andrew and Derek were so blessed to get to spend a lot of time having so much fun and hanging out with Molly while Emma and Maddi were their summer Nanny’s. She was such a sparkplug of life and brought joy to our kids for which we’ll all forever be grateful and never forget. With a heavy heart, we all enjoyed looking back through the summer memory books that Emma and Maddi made and seeing all the fun places and pictures of Molly with the boys. May your great memories of her help comfort you through this tragedy. Thank you for sharing her with our family.
Kim, Noni and Duane
My heart hurts for you. Know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers.
