Chelsea B. Young, 33

Chelsea Babe Young died suddenly at her home in Northfield on Thursday, Sept. 28.

Chelsea started her life on Jan. 2, 1990, the first baby born at Franklin Regional Hospital that year, and she was featured in the paper as such. Coincidentally, she was also born on her grandfather Frank “Babe” Cross’s birthday, earning his nickname as a middle name.

As a child, she spent much of her time outside swimming and being an avid mudpie maker. She was a fun-loving child who enjoyed laughing, reading and spending time with family and friends. As she got older, she joined the Girl Scouts organization, which introduced her to many more people, adventures and opportunities. She learned new skills and life lessons that she continued to carry with her and use throughout her life.

As an adult, much of her time was spent listening to music, reading, crocheting and most of all, hanging with her fur babies, Porkie Pie and Kitty.

She is survived by her madre, Gina Cross Young; sisters Amanda Young and Sheri Young; niece Alexis Young; nana Nora Young; and Gary Dow of Belmont, along with many aunts, uncles and cousins.

She is predeceased by her father, Brian Owen Young; grandfathers Babe Cross and Budge Young; and grandmother Claire Cross.

A celebration of life for family and friends will be on Friday, Oct. 6, at 5 p.m. at Whiteman-Davidson American Legion Post #49, 4 Park St., Northfield. Paquette-Neun Funeral Home in Northfield is assisting with arrangements, and an online guestbook is available at neunfuneralhomes.com.
