It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Tolbert Young, affectionately known as “George”, at home on April 27, 2026, with his loving wife of 61 years, Mabel, at his side. George was born at home in Wormleysburg, PA, September 24, 1940 to the late Peddrick and Mary Young.
George was a lifetime member of Our Lady of Lourdes Church.
George was a veteran having served in the U.S. Navy.
Throughout the years, George worked as a maintenance man for the Borough of Wormleysburg, as a caretaker at his church, and retired from Highmark Blue Shield as a security guard. He enjoyed watching old TV programs like Gunsmoke, Sanford and Sons, and was an avid sports fan.
George showed great love for his family and will be missed by his wife Mabel, daughters Lisa Moore and Nicole Young, grandson Benjamin Moore, brother Peddrick Young (Linda), and sister Denise Stefanon, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
The family would like to thank Amedisys Hospice for their care provided over the last 2 months, especially Casey and Joey who were his primary nurses.

Mabel and family,
Thinking of seeing you. George and Nicole at church and at the various dinners at OLOL.
Do not dwell in the darkness of his passing but remember the happy and fun times spent with him. He is not gone, he is home and free of all ailments.

You always made me smile. I’m sure you’ve already been flirting with some angels. I will miss you answering the phone “Who’s this, Vicki?” I know you will be watching over your sweet family. Rest in peace, until we meet again.
George will be missed by his OLOL’s family. I will certainly miss his warm greeting always extended to Rick and me.
I am retired from Highmark. George was a great security guy. I always liked him. Sending my condolences to the family.
