Camille Bolton Young

Camille Bolton Young, age 90, of Avon Park, FL, passed away Wednesday, August 21, 2024.  She was born February 4, 1934, in Dade County, FL to the late Alex B. Bolton and Mary Harvey.  She was a Homemaker and Co-Owner with her late husband of Young’s Gulf, 60+ year member of First Baptist Church of Avon Park, current member of Athens Baptist Church, and has been a resident of Avon Park, FL since 1958, coming from Hialeah, FL. Camille was dedicated to her family, her friends and her community. She showed kindness, empathy, and had a willingness to listen and give to those in need.  She enjoyed her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a humble woman who enjoyed a good sense of humor and had a vibrancy for life. Camille and Lelon raised their four children to work hard and gave them the “gift of faith.” For decades, at First Baptist Church, she led children in Sunday School and helped adults learn to read. At her last residence, Fellowship at the Fairway, she made new friends, while her old friends continued to visit and love her; she was so blessed.  Her faith was strong even until her death.
