Remembering Patricia Anita Young
By DANETTE BILLUPS and DARLENE MCPHERSEN
Patricia Anita Young, long time resident of the Ebenezer community, has transitioned from her role as artist, writer, and community member, on to the next part of her journey. She was an awesome writer for the Phoenix of Phillips and Access Press.
Patricia wished to be remembered for her love of family, and as a writer, artist and designer. She was a loving and sharing person.
She was a proud graduate of Minneapolis Central High School and Minneapolis College. She was an administrative assistant at the Animal Care Foundation, a former community editor and freelance writer at Saint Paul Almanac, and a community editor and writer at the Arthritis Foundation.
Although she is absent in body, she is ever present in our minds and hearts as a vibrant part of the Phillips Community.

The Minneapolis Edible Boulevards Community Outreach Facilitator has been busy creating social media content, and we invite you to follow our new Instagram page. While you’re at it, join our Facebook page too.
If you didn’t make it to our October cooking class with Kelly Shay, check out the recipe/video on our Facebook page. The Autumn Harvest Salad was absolutely delicious and perfect for using ingredients we’re growing in our gardens. For those who need a healthy recipe that doesn’t take much time, this is the one for you. Huge shout outs to Four Sisters Farm and Tamales y Bicicletas for hosting us on the Southside this summer and to the Seward Co-op, Eastside Co-op, Phillips Garden, and Lowe’s for sponsoring the classes and gardens this summer.
On November 12, we welcome Derek Nicholas of the Division of Indian Work and Wiisinig, to teach us how to make Berry Wild Rice Salad. The grocery list is available on the Facebook event so you can cook along with us on Zoom. Zoom is where our winter cooking classes will take place (registration is required).… Read the rest “Boulevard Treasures”
