Elsie Turnbull Young, age 90, of Ocean View, DE, died on Wednesday, November 1, 2023.

Elsie was born in McIntye, PA on October 9, 1933, daughter of the late Ira Wharton Turnbull and the late Elizabeth Beryl (Jasper) Turnbull.  She graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with her bachelor's degree in education.

Elsie was an elementary school teacher in Indiana, PA until she and her husband, George, relocated to Pittsburgh, PA and then Rockville, MD in 1970. She then worked as a math specialist with Montgomery County Public Schools, retiring in 1995 after 40 years of teaching.  During this time, she was an active member of St. Matthew Presbyterian Church in Silver Spring, MD. After summering in Ocean View since 1971, she and George moved to Ocean View permanently in 1996. She loved living in Ocean View and built a community of dear friends within the crafting community, the AARP choir, book club, and her church. Elsie became a pillar at Ocean View Presbyterian Church serving on the session, in the choir, the Woman's Circle, and establishing the annual nativity event. She was a woman of faith and a true leader in this community. Elsie easily made friends and loved to learn about each person she came across - rarely losing a connection with someone she had spoken with. Her family was very important to her, and she especially loved spending time with her grandsons.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, George Young and two sisters, Anne Crawford and Patricia Wareham.  Elsie is survived by a son, David Young and his wife, Katie; two grandsons, Taylor Young and his wife, Amber and Rob Young.

A service to celebrate Elsie's life will be held at 11 AM on Friday, November 10, 2023, at the Ocean View Presbyterian Church, 67 Central Ave., Ocean View, DE 19970.
