She lived in Butler from 1964 until 2008 when she moved to Fountain Hills, Ariz., to be close to her sister, Chris Young, and her family. She battled breast cancer for many years before succumbing to the disease.
She is survived by her younger sister, Christine Nedde Young of Fountain Hills, Ariz., and her younger brother, Norman R Nedde, M.D., of Fort Mill, S.C. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
