Colleen Ann Young

Colleen Ann Young, age 78, peacefully passed away on March 18, 2026, just one day after her birthday. Born on March 17, 1948, in Detroit, Michigan, she was the daughter of Richard and Wanda (Morski) Laurain and was lovingly raised by her mother and stepfather, Leonard Myers.

Colleen attended Southfield High School and pursued further education at business college, where she briefly worked as a corporate secretary. However, her true passion was found later, in being a stay-at-home mom for her two sons. She married Christopher Young on September 29, 1973, in Livonia, Michigan. Their partnership spanned nearly five decades until his passing in 2022, leaving her with cherished memories and a legacy of love.

Colleen was an active member of her church in Muskegon, where she found community. She also found additional purpose in helping young women while working at Muskegon Pregnancy Service (MPS). She enjoyed crocheting blankets and mittens for the new mothers she met and helped durin g her time volunteering. Her heart was full of love for her family, especially her two sons, Adrian (Naomi) Young, who blessed her with grandchildren Abigail and Marcus, and her son David (Colin) Young. She is also survived by her beloved sisters-in-law, Melanie (Larry) Klenk and Valerie Young, as well as her nephew Andrew (Mariko) Klenk and niece Jamie Klenk (John Strucel).

A celebration of Colleen's life is being plan to take place in the summer of 2027. Her sons will announce the details via their Facebook. They hope to have a gathering near the Grand Rapids area where family and friends will be able to come together to share stories and honor her memory.
