Joyce Young Obituary

Joyce Little Young N. CHARLESTON - Joyce Little Young, 86, of North Charleston, peacefully entered eternal rest on February 9, 2023. She was a retired schoolteacher. Known as Granny to her loved ones, she grew up on a farm in Cass City, Michigan until she married the late Rev. James W. Young in 1957 and they moved to serve the Lord at Rantowles Baptist Church in 1962 with 3 small children. They served churches in Walterboro before moving to what is now North Charleston. When Jim went to work at Baptist College at Charleston, they became long-time members of Deer Park Baptist Church. A few years after Jim died in 1988, she met Sullivan Tindal who became her constant, devoted companion until he died in 2019. He was known as Pap to all her grandchildren. Jim and Joyce had three children, Terry Holland (Calvin), Judge Roger Young (Tara), and Sherry Blanchard (Bruce). There are 8 grandchildren surviving her: David Holland, Rachel Holland, Lydia Holland Strickland, Abi Holland Crenshaw, Grace Young Stubbing, Roger (Hank) Young, Jr., Sabrina Blanchard, Caan Blanchard, and 5 great-grandchildren. Joyce always had a special place in her heart for Hopewell Baptist Church in Adams Run because the special people there gave her and Jim unconditional love and support throughout their adult lives. She will be interred there beside Jim on Saturday, February 18, 2023. Friends and loved ones are invited to join the family at Hopewell at 2 p.m. for a remembrance of her love and life. A reception will follow. The family will be eternally grateful to Sonny Clardy and his wonderful staff at Reflections Assisted Living in Myrtle Beach for their loving care over the last nine years as well as Agape Hospice over past few months. In lieu of flowers, Joyce specifically asked that people consider donating to Hopewell Baptist Church. Visit our guestbook at legacy.com/obituaries/charleston
