Margaret Eleanor (Nornie) Brown Young of Crawfordsville, IN passed peacefully Saturday evening February 25th surrounded by her loving family.
Nornie is survived by her husband of almost 58 years Robert (Buggy), children Sarah Young Florey (Jeff) of Crawfordsville, Jeffrey Scott Young (Lisa) of Newburgh, IN and daughter-in-law Kim Dagley of Darlington, IN. Grandchildren Jennifer Engle (Clint), Lindsay Silvey, Evan Florey, Alyssa, Logan, Connor Young, Brinton, and Audrey Sieferman. Great-grandchildren Hallie, Ryleigh, Jaxon, and Annabelle Grace. Eleanor was preceded in death by her parents Dr. & Mrs. M. S. Brown, brother Brian Maple Brown and son Rob Young.
Eleanor was born March 12, 1938, to Dr. & Mrs. M.S. Brown of Spencer, IN. She graduated from Spencer High School and DePauw University where she was a Tri-Delt. Eleanor married Robert Young on August 19, 1959. Norn and Buggy moved to Crawfordville in 1962 where they owned and operated Arab Pest Control for 40 years. She was a member of the First Methodist Church of Crawfordsville.
Eleanor was an avid IU fan and loved watching IU basketball, her son called her a “True Hoosier”. She enjoyed music, playing bridge, and sports, watching her grandchildren show their 4-H animals, traveling to all 50 states of the US, boating, camping, and their winter trip to Florida. But her greatest love and enjoyment was her family and friends; they were her life.
Her beautiful smile could light up a room and she will be missed by many. Eleanor’s great-granddaughter, Ryleigh said it best, “Nan didn’t go anywhere; she’s still in my heart.
