Obituary of Mary Margaret (Sack) Young
IN THE CARE OF

Robert Toale and Sons Funeral Home at Palms Memorial Park

Mary Margaret Sack Young, 84, of Sarasota, Florida, passed away on September 15, 2024. She leaves behind her husband, James Malcolm Young, daughters Lisa McQuaid and Chris Clifford, granddaughter Morgan McQuaid, and brother David Sack.

Mary was born in Jamestown, New York and grew up in idyllic Bemus Point, New York. She graduated from American University in Washington, DC, where she met her husband, Jim. Married for nearly 63 years, they enjoyed family, travel, daily walks, and their beloved pets and found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Mary and Jim also lived in McLean, Virginia; Bemus Point, New York; Hagerstown, Maryland; and Sarasota, Florida.

Mary was greatly loved by her family, friends, and neighbors. Her family can’t count the number of people who’ve said, “Mary is the kindest person I’ve ever met,” and “Mary was a shining star, a bright light who was always there for others.”

A Celebration of Life service will be held in her honor at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, September 24, at the Sarasota Center of Light, 852 S Tuttle Avenue, Sarasota, Florida, 34237. A reception will immediately follow in Davis Hall at the Sarasota Center of Light.

The service will also be offered via Zoom at: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89224686328; Meeting ID: 892 2468 6328.
