Mary Althea Mace Young, of Slidell, LA, passed away on Wednesday, March 9, 
2016. 

She was the loving wife of the late Calvin Charles Young, with she whom she co-
founded Young's Restaurant, one of Slidell's oldest and most popular dining 
establishments.

Mrs. Young was also the co-creator, along with Calvin, of Nancy Ann Young, 
Kevin Anthony Young (Linda), Keith Damien Young (Lynda) and Craig Gerard Young.

For many years, Mrs. Young worked in the kitchen of Young’s, preparing the 
hand-pressed burgers and pizzas for which the restaurant became famous during 
its early years. She then served as a hostess when Young’s was transformed from 
a pizza and hamburger restaurant to a fine dining steak and seafood 
establishment.

Beloved for her kindness and gracious personality, “Mrs. Mary” also became a 
second mother to the staff who worked at Young’s throughout the years, 
providing home-cooked meals for them each night at the end of their shifts.

She was a faithful parishioner of St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church and well 
known to many area clergy, schools and medical patients and their families for 
whose benefit Young’s hosted numerous fundraisers.

Mrs. Young will be sadly missed by her children, grandchildren, nieces and 
nephews and the countless friends and customers of Young’s restaurant.

The Young family would like to express their gratitude to Notre Dame Hospice, 
who cared for Mrs.Young during her last days. Though she was 84 when she passed 
from this life to the next, for all those who knew and loved her, she will 
remain forever Young.

The services and burial will be private.
