Ms. Edna Louise Earl Young, 70 of Charlotte, passed away on Friday October 04, 2019 at Levine & Dickson Hospice House in Huntersville.  She was born on June 20, 1949 in Buford, Ga to the late Winnie Earl and Edward Knuckles.

At an early age, she moved to Charlotte, NC with her grandmother, the late Pauline Ardrey and attended Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools.  For many years, she worked in the field of dietary at Wesley Nursing Home and later found a rewarding 25 year career at Eckerd Corporation as a warehouse clerk and a delivery driver until her health declined.

She was family-oriented, caregiving, and a wonderful cook.  Her hobbies included, traveling, fishing, bowling and shopping.  She loved spending time with her family, particularly during  the holidays sharing her famous potato salad, homemade dressing, and sweet potato pies.

Although she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and Multiple Myeloma Cancer, she did not let that stop her from being active.  She was devoted supporter to The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation where she attended various events and seminars. She always encouraged her family and friends to attend seminars, events and gain more knowledge and awareness about Multiple Sclerosis and Cancer. A face and voice we all loved has vanished, but we are comforted by the precious memories of the warmth, love, and kindness that she gave to others.
