Obituary for Kunigunda Maria Young

Funeral services for Kunigunda Maria Young will take place at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, January 24, 2025, at Jeane’s Funeral Service, with Reverend John Lewing officiating. Following the service, she will be interred at Forest Lawn Cemetery. Amanda Smith, Marion Kinnison, Joey Young, Amelia Lyons, Kali Lyons, and Michael Lyons will serve as pallbearers, with Ray Smith, Mike Anderson, and Morgan Lyons-Horne honored as the honorary pallbearers. A visitation is scheduled at Jeane’s on Friday from 1:00 p.m. until the service begins. Born on July 21, 1949, in Bamberg, Germany, Kunigunda passed away on January 21, 2025, in Leesville, Louisiana at the age of 75. As a devoted military wife, she embraced the challenges of relocating for her husband's deployments, creating a loving home for her family in each new space. Her kindness and generosity touched many lives, and her friendships were a treasured part of her life. Creating a warm environment for her family and friends was of utmost importance to Gunda; she loved hosting and took pride in ensuring her home was beautiful and inviting-and she always had food to share. Gunda enjoyed connecting with friends and family daily- especially with her twin sister Betty. Her family was her greatest joy, exemplifying the love of a dedicated mother and grandmother. They will always remember her unique sense of style, her thoughtfulness, determination, her humor, and, above all, her boundless love.


Gunda was preceded in death by her husband of 33 years, Wilfred Young; great-granddaughter, Charlotte Runfola; parents, Christof & Margareta Holschuh; brother, Georg Holschuh; son-in-law, Joseph Lyons; and daughter-in-law, Robin Young.


She is survived by her sons, William “Billy” Young of Leesville, LA and Steven Young (Tracie) of White House, TN;

daughter, Mary Lyons of Oakwood, GA;

grandchildren, Melissa, Matthew, Michael, Joey, Amelia, Jamie, Morgan, and Kali;

great-grandchildren, Stanley, Elisia, Eston, and Elizabeth;

sister, Barbara Smith (Raymond) of Geronimo, OK;

nieces, Amanda Smith and Marion Kinnison;

nephews, Angelo Engelhardt and Raimund Holschuh;

and a host of extended family members and friends.
