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.
