Rita Sue Young

October 15, 1950 – July 23, 2024

On July 23, 2024, we lost our beautiful mom, some called her Genna, Rita Sue Young at the age of 73. She was born on October 12, 1950, to Steve A. and Jessie M. Guinn. Rita Sue was a real go-getter.

A memorial service celebrating Sue’s life will be held on Friday, August 16, 2024, at 3 p.m. at Cornerstone Foursquare, located 617 N. Oklahoma Ave. (intersection of Oklahoma and Trent). In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Peru Missions Cornerstone Foursquare, Feed the Children foundation or a non-profit organization of your choice in her name.
