Theresa “Peaches” Young (nee Short) was born February 28 th 1958 in St.
Louis, Mo. The second child born to the union of John and Lucille Short.
Theresa is already missed and mourned by so many. This includes her
Husband Johnell Young Jr., Children, Tiffany Short, Sabrina Short,
Brandy Short, Ebony Nicole Dancy (Gary), Johnell Young III (Tiara
(deceased) and Eugene Young (Amonii). Mother, Lucille Short,
Brothers; Eugene Short and Douglas Littlejohn.
Theresa was preceded in death by three siblings, John Short Jr.,
Richard Short and Patricia Short Hunter (Jimmy). Ten
Grandchildren, Three Greatgrandchildren, A host of Nieces,
Nephews, Cousins and Friends. She also had those that were
closer than Friends, These were her Village brothers and sisters.
By the time Theresa was twelve years old she had visited three
Countries in Europe, Jordon and a host of States in America.
When she came back to the States she could speak German and
English but never using German here she soon forgot it.
During her marriage she studied many things and decided on
Medical Billing and Coding. After becoming proficient in this field
and earning her degree to teach, she opened and operated a
Medical Billing and Coding school, helping displaced people attain
the qualifications they needed to gain meaningful employment. At
the same time she was helping a Nonprofit in the role of Grant
writer, Eventually she found this to be her passion, working for
Non Profit so she devoted herself full time to the Arts Of Peace, A
non-profit organization and developed her own Non Profit “TASY
INC” where she mentored youths of all ages opening them up to
broader learning and life experiences. Theresa had a love and
zest for life, her top priorities were her Husband and her Family,
and working to help those less fortunate. You could see her out at
any given time giving mask, Soap, Gloves and other protective
products so that people could have the means to protect
themselves.
Theresa was raised in the faith as one of Jehovah’s Witness and
last year she confirmed her Dedication by Baptism
`Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. '
(Prov. 22:6.)
So we say “Sleep my child and get your well-deserved rest until God
calls us forth on the day of celebration."
The family would like to give a special heartfelt thanks to Ms. Dorothy
Hart for all the love, care and attention she gave to our beloved
Theresa (her sister by choice).
