Young was born November 1, 1929 in Uiju, Korea to Chang Soo and Hwa Soon Lee. She was married to Won B. Moon who preceded her in death. She lived a selfless life as a homemaker, raising her own children and playing a major role in the upbringing of her grandchildren. She was an active member of the church, a world traveler, and enjoyed knitting and gardening. Her true passion, though, was her family.
