We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former County Commissioner Sylvia Young. Commissioner Young was a true leader – serving as a commissioner for 20 years until she retired in 2000. She was a trailblazer, becoming one of the first women to serve on the commission when she was elected in 1980.
Notably, Commissioner Young worked tirelessly to preserve the Historic Pasco County Courthouse in Dade City, where our board continues to meet every month. The courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historical Places, and a marker on the building reads: “Commissioner Sylvia Young, who served from November 18, 1980, to November 21, 2000. With great appreciation for your dreams, efforts, and dedication to the major role you played to keep history alive with the preservation of this historic courthouse."
We are grateful for Commissioner Young’s leadership and will forever remember her lasting impact and dedicated service to Pasco County.
