Connie Jo Young

Connie (Big Mama) Jo Young passed away on Wednesday, December 29, 2021, at Lutheran Hospital. She was the daughter of Ray (Bud) Warren and Edna Farnsworth Warren. She was born in Des Moines IA on November 12, 1955.

Everyone who knew Connie knew of her great love of an ice-cold Pepsi, Elvis, and her family and friends. She was at her happiest taking care of or cooking for others. She was the go-to for many on organizing any event, family information, and cooking up something delicious.
Those who she lived for and left to cherish her memory are her son Joe Young Jr, her grandchildren Allison, Caedon, and Brooklynn. Also feeling the loss are her brothers Kenny, Larry, Boots, and Greg, sisters Linda and Kay, sisters-in-law Velma, Karen, and Dee, numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews, and many other family members.

Connie was preceded in death by her mother and father, brothers Meredith and Howard, sister Sally, sisters-in-law Sharon and Julie, brother-in-law Foz, and nephew Danny.

Her husband and love of her life, Joe Young, was the first one greeting her in heaven.

Visitation will be held from 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday January 11, 2022, at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines, IA. Funeral service will begin at 11 a.m. Wednesday January 12, 2022, also at the funeral home.
