John Elmer Young, father of Nancy Young-Wright Passes Away

Hello Everyone,

Rep Nancy Young Wright's father, John Elmer Young, passed away yesterday at the Presbyterian hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico

He was 94 years old.

He suffered a series of mini strokes following a fall last week.

In lieu of flowers, Rep. Young-Wright suggested donations be made to the educational fund that the familiy set up for students who are studying math and plan to teach in rural New Mexico:

The Jack and Dan Love Memorial Fund
Eastern New Mexico University Foundation.
1500 S Ave K
Portales, NM 88130

LD 26 extends its deepest sympathy to Rep. Nancy Young-Wright.

Former State Representative Lena Saradnik
First Vice-Chair, LD 26,
