Bellevue

Elizabeth Ann "Liz" Young, 83, of Bellevue, passed away Monday, Sept. 4, 2023, at Bellevue Care Center.

She was born Aug. 4, 1940, in Clay County, West Virginia. Liz and her husband, John, moved to Bellevue in 1965 and stayed in this area to raise their family. He preceded her in death in 2007.

Affectionately known as Liz or Lizzie, she had a profound love for God and her family. Once you met Liz, you never forgot her quick wit and kindness. She was one-of-a-kind. She definitely put her family first. She was a great cook, an amazing seamstress, but more importantly, a devoted mom and grandmother. Liz was a member of Mount Carmel Church for nearly 60 years and served God in numerous capacities.

She had a variety of jobs over the years including seamstress, factory worker, deli worker, and retail clerk in several area stores. She also owned her own store, Liz's Fabrics. She always remembered fondly working at Dixon Ticonderoga, Goodwill, Bellevue Care Center, and Hogue's because of the many lasting friendships she made during her time at each place. She retired from Hogue's at the age of 78.

She is survived by her sons, Donald (Gela) Nutter of Spring Hill, Florida, and James (Lisa) Young of Republic; daughter, Johnna Young of Norwalk; stepdaughter, Margaret Young of Fremont; 12 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; brothers, Eddie (Mary Anna) Blankenship of Atwater and Alfred (Sue) Blankenship of Frametown, West Virginia; sister, Iona Legg, Duck of West Virginia; brother-in-law, Charles Ward of Elkview, West Virginia; and many nieces and nephews.

Liz was also preceded in death by her first husband, Gordon "Jack" Nutter; mother and stepfather, Della and Autie Salisbury; son, Michael Nutter; infant daughter, Kimberly Dawn Nutter; stepsons, Robert Young and John Andrew Young; brother and sister-in-law, Keith and Margie Salisbury; sisters, Barbara Parsons and Bonnie Ward; and brothers-in-law, Eugene Parsons and Jerry Legg.

Liz's funeral will be 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023, at Mount Carmel Church, 4997 Co Rd 183, Clyde, Ohio, 43410. Burial will follow at York Chapel Cemetery on County Road 292 in Bellevue.
