"Most knew Elizabeth from the Hunger & Health Coalition in Boone, where since 2014, she served until recently as the nonprofit organization’s Executive Director.
Others might have become acquainted with her in her earlier role as Director of Community Relations at Deerfield Assisted Living, or after her promotion there to the facility’s Executive Director. Perhaps you recognized her as a member of the board of directors at Boone Area Chamber of Commerce, the Blowing Rock Rotary Club or High Country Caregiver Foundation.
Or maybe you can’t remember just which of the many community organizations she was helping with as a volunteer at their special events.
It’s OK if you didn’t know of the lengthy list of services she provided behind the scenes — there were so many. And she never did anything for recognition or public acclaim, but always with great passion, sincere commitment and boundless energy.
One thing is for certain, Elizabeth Young has left her mark on the High Country community and way beyond. The lives she touched are countless; the acts of service she provided are without measure."
