Ernie, and identical twin “Emmy” (Edna Bertha) Naumann, were born to Sarah (Flecher) and Chris Naumann on June 27, 1929, in Omaha, Nebraska. She graduated from South High School in Omaha and was employed several years as a bank teller there. Ernie and Harold Younger were united in marriage on August 20, 1948, and enjoyed 67 years together. They were blessed with a daughter, Susan, and a son, Fred.

Ernie was an avid horse enthusiast. She spent many years riding and training horses; later raising Arabians and mules. The horse barn was like her “second home.” She was also a skilled seamstress, creating many wonderful quilts and crocheted projects. While raising her family, Ernie made lasting friendships in the community on her Avon routes.
