Sally Ruth Young, age 82, of Fenton, passed away peacefully on April 11, 2025. She was born on November 17, 1942, in Orange County, Florida, to Lenvel and Roselle Phillips. Sally had a zest for life and a heart full of love. She found joy in the simple things-cooking for those she loved, spending time with family, and listening to her favorite country and gospel tunes. A devoted NASCAR fan, she never missed watching a race and enjoyed the occasional trip to the casino for a bit of fun. She had a special fondness for plants and flowers, always surrounding herself with beauty and color. Some of her most cherished memories were made at the lake with her family, where laughter and love filled the air. Sally is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Kenneth "Buck" Young; and three siblings. She is survived by one son, Wayne Young (Kathy) of Fenton; three daughters, Tina Vehige (Bob) of O'Fallon, Donna Ribble (Mike) of Cedar Hill, and Cindy Young of St. Clair; ten grandchildren, Kenny, Courtney, Jason, Anthony, Brian, Jackie, Mike, Joe, Rick and Jake; thirteen great grandchildren; and one brother, Billy Phillips of Florida. A private burial service will be held at Jefferson Barracks at a later date. The online obituary and guestbook are available at www.JayBSmith.com.
