56 October 2014 Friends Journal

Facility at Atlantic Shores in Virginia Beach,

Va., lovingly cared for by nurses, family, and
friends. Helen Louise was born on February 17,
1921, near Woodland, N.C., the first child of
Christine Frazier and David Heston Brown, both
with family traditions of Quaker values and
Southern hospitality. She attended Westtown
School (giving up cheerleading to star on the
varsity basketball, lacrosse, hockey, and tennis
teams and breaking the record for receiving the
most letters) and Guilford College, where she
met and married fellow Quaker Bob Wilson,
from High Point, N.C. Louise and Bob first
lived in High Point and in 1952 moved with
their two children to Virginia Beach, Va.,
starting a Quaker meeting in their Linkhorn
Park home. In 1954, Louise was recorded as a
Quaker minister, or Minister among Friends,
as her grandfathers had been. The next year she
co-founded Virginia Beach Friends School. In
her book A View from My Window (1995),
Louise, head of the school for many years,
outlines the history of the meeting and school
and how she and several young fellow Quakers
and friends, notably Jane Waller, did
everything during the early months of the
school from driving the school bus to making
the lunches. Active in prison ministry and the
Junior League, she served interdenominational
ministerial boards and other civic organizations,
and she was named First Citizen of Virginia
Beach in 1960. Her article Breaking the
Pattern of the Fear of Death appeared in
Friends Journal May 1976. She was a popular
and respected speaker, storyteller, and workshop
leader and served on educational boards and
committees, including those for Pendle Hill,
Earlham School of Religion, and Guilford
College, where she became a trustee emeritus.
Her 1996 memoir Inner Tenderings recounts
her spiritual journey and ministry across these
years. She remained active on Virginia Beach
Meeting Ministry and Oversight committee
until shortly before her death. Although the
tonal quality of her speaking faded as she aged,
she never lost her gift of capturing the essence
of the moment and translating it into a message
that spoke to the condition of those who heard
her. But she would want to be remembered not
by her rsum but by the individual hearts that
became a part of her heart, and not by her
words but by the spirit and shared silence from
which they were born. Throughout her life, she
received letters from people across the world
thanking her for having touched their lives. She
was also a beautiful homemaker, beloved
parent, grandparent, and friend. An avid sports
aficionado, she was the quintessential Tar Heel
fan and always had her television tuned to a
sports channel. She moved to Atlantic Shores
retirement community when Bob died in 2000.
She made friends and was active in the
communitys writing group, publishing pieces
in The Poets Domain. Louise is survived by
two children, Bob Wilson Jr. (Janet) and
Diane Hofheimer (Charles); two brothers,
David Brown (Mae) and Benjamin Brown
(Myra); seven grandchildren; and 12 great-
grandchildren. Memorial donations can be
made to the Bob and Louise Wilson
Scholarship Fund at Virginia Beach Friends
School, 1537 Laskin Road, Virginia Beach,
VA 23451.
YoungV. Barry Young, 75, on January 28,
2014, in Fountain Hill, Pa., surrounded by his
family. Barry was born on December 7, 1938,
in Wilmington, Del., to Mabel E. Boots
Coulter and Vernon T. Young. He graduated
from Liberty High School in 1956 and
attended Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and
Science, and he and his brother, Ron, co-
owned Hess Pharmacy and Health Care
Services in Bethlehem, Pa. After retiring,
Young earned a masters in holistic spirituality
and spiritual direction from Chestnut Hill
College and taught at the college and at Kairos
School for Spiritual Formation. Together with
his wife, pastoral counselor Louise Harris
Young, he worked with a variety of faith
communities, leading spiritual formation,
parenting, mid-life, and marriage classes and
retreats. He and Louise first encountered
Lehigh Valley Meeting in Bethlehem, Pa.,
when they came to lead a spiritual formation
workshop. They joined the meeting in 2003,
served on the care and concern committee, and
led many workshops and classes, including
Encountering the Wisdom Jesus, based on a
series of lectures by Cynthia Bourgeault. Barry
helped Friends listen, reflect, and dialogue to
broaden and deepen their connection to the
wisdom that some call Divine Consciousness
or Light. Friends played, meditated,
worshipped, and made art, music, and poetry
in Finding the Extraordinary in the Ordinary
weekend retreat. He and Louise led discussions
on Jesuss teachings and their relevance to
living in the Light. All this time Barry
struggled with Parkinsons Disease. He didnt
complain or let his physical difficulties deter
his spiritual growth, instead using his pain to
deepen his relationship to the Spirit. In
December 2013, sharing his spiritual journey,
he talked of wanting to know more about
Jesus and said that he would not want to give
up his Parkinsons Disease because it was part
of his spiritual journey and had made him
more compassionate and aware of others
suffering. Friends were blessed to have him as
a teacher and touchstone to the Divine. He
left Friends with this query: What do we
think we are doing when we pray? And he
shared this final poem, What I Learned: Grief
is letting go of all we think we own. / No
matter to what we cling / Be it person, place
or thing. / Everything I think is mine / Slips
away, is an illusion, / a state of mind. / It
matters not how we resist. / When day is done,
Love persists. During his brief stay in the
hospital, he talked, joked, cried, and prayed
with his family. At the celebration of his life,
his grandchildren shared his final words of
blessing to them, Fear not. Barry is survived
by his wife of 54 years, Louise Harris Young;
four children, Lori Young (Rodman), Kari
Young-Keyock (Michael Keyock), Jeffrey
Young (Lisa), and Tacey Young-Shook
(Randy Shook); and ten grandchildren.

Cohousing with Friends in Costa Rica
A cohousing community, based on Quaker principles, is
forming in Costa Rica on an organic farm in the mountains
two hours travel time from San Jos (the capital) and one
hour from the Pacific coast.
San Jos is home to the Friends Peace Center (Centro de los
Amigos para la Paz) and the San Jos Worship Group. The
Monteverde Meeting, higher up in the mountains, is about
three hours away and serves as an inspiration.
Cohousing Goals:
1. Create an inclusive community at an easily affordable
cost.
2. Produce much of our food, energy and buildings with
sustainable practices.
3. Live in harmony with our neighbors and contribute to
the surrounding community.
4. Other goals developed as our community grows and works
together. The hope is to include families and single people
at all ages, but realistically, many members will likely be
retired. Some may earn income through computer-based
work or creative arts, but the area provides few other job
opportunities.
If you think you may be interested, please contact me at
sunrisemountainfarm@gmail.com. I will personally reply to
your inquiries. Carol.
