CASCO — Barbara A. Young, 60, passed away on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2019, at the Hospice House in Auburn after a long battle with cancer.

She was born on Nov. 18, 1959, the youngest child of Francis and Ola (Buffum) Hatch.

Barbara, known by many as “Barbie,” and to her grandkids as “Blue,” was a graduate of Deering High School in the class of 1978. She was an incredibly hard worker, who did her very best to provide for her family.

She is survived by her sons, Adam Young, Ryan Phillips and Ernest Phillips Jr.; three grandchildren; siblings, Judy Bartlett, Margaret Hatch, Michael Hatch and Janie Schools; and her long-time friend and companion, Roger Madore; as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her parents, Francis and Ola Hatch.
