OBITUARY: 31 December 1975
YOUNG, Mrs. Robert F. (Margaret Lay), 56 of 2920 Haxley Drive; memorial services 4 p. m.
Wednesday directed by Smithe & Kerake Funeral Home.
Margaret Elizabeth Lay Young was the first of Lawrence and Berta B. Lay’s five children. She received a bachelor’s degree from Central State University.
In 1937 she married Robert Franklin Young; they had four children. She was very involved with her children’s school activities through their high school
years. She had an ongoing drive to learn new things, and she was intrigued by self-awareness and self-improvement concepts. She was always active in her
church, and she pursued her love of music throughout her life. Her premature death at age 56 was brought about by a congenital heart problem.
We are thankful and glad for Margaret’s singing life, for all of the worth in all the forms of her music, her being, with all the lines, colors and textures, rhythms, tonalities and tempos, which gifted us with meaning and love.
She was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a friend to many. No one can sum up her life. And words are inadequate for the infinite preciousness of a life. But what touched her deeply, passionately, joyfully is forever, eternally, universally to be shared: music. She sang. She sang in our church choir, in the Canterbury Choir and in times with places shared with others, and often with the eternal alone. She played. She played the piano and organ and served as a church organist. And her mind and heart and hands that made music made love too, abundantly, for many. You have her music. It is eternal.
God and faith and music are one, the intense, throbbing, unifying eternal source of life which is the source of wonder and mystery and inexpressible loveliness. Margaret's faith was strong. She thought. She questioned. But her faith was like her music. There is no explaining the miracle of a musical score; nor what happens between and with the brass and strings and the human mind and heart. But all the fullness, mystery and glory of life are there, timelessly, forever. There is the oneness that transcends all. And the oneness of it all transcends and includes all --a Mohammed and Buddha and Jesus, as a Beethoven, Mozart and Stravinsky. There is the wholeness of life, the worth of all things which is a wholeness of beauty and truth; an integrity of sound, sight and reason which is its own reason for being and our reason for being here, and rejoicing in our being together.
