Mrs. Young was born August 23, 1964 in Grand Forks, ND, she moved with her family to Asheboro, NC in 1972. She was the owner of Rick & Dee's Vending. She was preceded in death by her mother, Doris Jean Tolen, grandmother, Margaret Alistine Tolen, grandfather, Robert Michael Tolen, mother-in-law and father-in-law, Lillian and Glenn Young, and grandmother-in-law, Florence Young. Deanne was loved by everyone she met and she loved everyone she met. She lovingly cared for her family and friends during their time of sickness. She enjoyed all the time she spent with her family and friends. She was overjoyed with the birth of her first granddaughter, Harley Rosemarie. She recently found out she was going to be a grandma again and was thrilled with the anticipation of the birth of the new grandbaby. Deanne loved to go to yard sales and have her own yard sales. She also enjoyed going to the different flea markets. She will greatly be missed by all her family, friends, and customers of Rick & Dee's Vending. Deanne was loved by all. She was a true friend without envy or competition. She praised success of others and would cry with you during sad times. She forgave easily and loved like there was no tomorrow. All that knew her was blessed. She was a real life Lucille Ball making us laugh at some of the silly things she did. Family was very important to her, yet friends became her family. You couldn't help but be drawn to her warm, loving, caring personality. Her home was your home. She was an excellent cook using family recipes and those out of her many recipe books. She was a socialite. If Dee went to the store for milk you know she would be gone for hours talking with others. She didn't know a stranger. She was the glue that held our family together and our rock during hard times. She will be greatly missed.
