Jolane Young

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jolane Young, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, who peacefully departed this life on December 3, 2024. Born on October 29, 1951, in Florence County to the late Colon and Betty Jo Carraway Anderson. Jolane's life was a testament to love, kindness, and unwavering faith. She was devoted to her church and found great joy in serving there.

Jolane graduated from JC Lynch High School in Florence County, and spent many years working at JC Lynch Elementary in Florence County.  She was devoted to her family, and loved making memories with them. Her family and friends always looked forward to her delightful 16+ layer chocolate cakes and cake squares for birthdays and special occasions. Jolane's warm spirit and generosity were felt by everyone she encountered. She was always willing to volunteer to help and never let grass grow under her feet.

A cherished member of Midway Baptist Church, Jolane sang in the choir and found great strength in her faith. Jolane loved spending time outdoors, working in her yard, traveling, and spending time with her family, friends, and her church ladies group.

Jolane is survived by her devoted husband, Johnny James Young, Jr.; her daughter, Lacie (David) Ward; her son, T. J. Matthews; her step-children, Ella (Michael) O'Donell, Mary Beth Young and Johnny (Becky) Young, III; and her beloved grandchildren, Malery (Clint) Glaze, Lindsey Ward, Cadence Matthews, and River Matthews, her step-grandchildren, Trevor Young, Sydney Young, Justin (Ruth) O'Donell, and Brianna (Carl) Hawkins and 3 step great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her dear sisters, Janice Comer and Jean Anderson.

She was preceded in death by her brother, Tommy Anderson.

A funeral service will be held at Midway Baptist Church at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 7, with burial to follow in the church cemetery, directed by Belk Funeral Home.

In honor of Mrs. Young memorials may be made to the Midway Baptist Church Building Fund at 4777 Hoffmeyer Rd Darlington, SC 29532.
