Margaret Lucille Young
June 13, 1927 – April 2, 2023
Margaret Young, formerly of Prince Frederick, MD passed away peacefully at the Hermitage in Solomons, MD on April 2, 2023. She was born on June 13, 1927 to G. Oliver and Lucy Bowen of Port Republic, MD. Margaret was a 1944 graduate of Calvert High School. Upon graduation, she went to live and work in Baltimore, MD. It was there that she met her first husband, Lee Roche. Tragically, Lee passed away soon after they were married. In the years to follow, she would spend summers helping on her family farm and winters with her in-laws in Baltimore. During the summer of 1953, she met Jack Young. They fell in love and were married on May 1, 1954. Together, they raised their family in Prince Frederick, MD. Margaret started her career with the U.S. Postal Service as a clerk. She later advanced to the position of U.S. Post Master of Port Republic Post Office until her retirement in 1991. She loved her job and made many wonderful friends during her career. Margaret was a lifelong member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church where she volunteered in a variety of roles. Her faith filled life was a loving example to her family and sustained her during many challenging times.
Being with her family was what Margaret enjoyed most of all. Her role as mother and grandmother were the most important things to her and her love and devotion to them was undeniable.
Margaret was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 50 years, Jack Young; first husband Lee Roche; son Buddy Young; brother and sister-in-law, Norman and Jean Bowen.
Margaret is survived by her children, Susan Jachelski (Greg), Mary Jo Ireland (Dennis), daughter-in-law Emily Young and brother Edward Bowen (Nancy). Grandchildren: Matthew Jachelski (Amy), Jessica Marler (Jason), Ryan Ireland (Angie), Malissa Young, Kevin Ireland (Angela), and Timothy Young. Great Grandchildren: Ava Marler, Lia Marler, Anna Ireland, Addelyn Ireland, Logan Ireland, Brayden Ireland and Jordan Ireland.

Growing up in the same neighborhood, I have a lot of fond memories of her kindness from when I was a kid up until my adult life. She will certainly be missed.

Dear Mary Jo and Susan,
My sincerest condolences to you and your families. Your mother was a wonderful and kind lady. She had the warmest and kindest of smiles. It was always a pleasure to see and speak with her whenever I saw her at church. I’ll always remember her at St Paul’s along with your father.
With my sympathy,

I am so sorry to hear of Margaret’s passing. My Mother was Margaret’s first cousin but even more a loving friend. In her later years in Port Republic, the highlight of Mother’s day was her visit to the post office. That was about the only driving that Mother did, and I believe the only reason Mother wouldn’t give up her car was to make that trip to visit with Margaret every day. Although I have been away from Calvert County, Margaret was still a dear friend and am so glad that I was able to attend her 90th birthday. A wonderful and remarkable woman.
