Billie “Turtle” Youngberg Nuhfer, 62, of Warren, PA, passed from this world to her eternal home with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
Billie was born September 28, 1961, in Warren, PA, to Violet “Dolly” Wilkins Youngberg and the late William Carl Youngberg.
She was a 1979 graduate of Eisenhower High School, was employed for 17 years as a bus driver with the Warren City Lines, and was a lifelong Warren County area resident. Billie enjoyed using her talent for crafting to serve others – she knit dozens of hats for premature babies and the homeless, and sewed hundreds of masks during COVID. Her life’s passion was introducing people to Jesus Christ. To honor that legacy, Billie’s family invites you to exchange your heaviness and sorrow for peace and joy and a future place in heaven alongside Billie by praying: “Jesus, I confess my wrongdoing and receive Your gift of forgiveness through Your death and resurrection. I choose to make You the Lord of my life, Amen.”
In addition to her mother, she is survived by her 3 children: Devin Nuhfer, Josiah Nuhfer and wife, Brianna, Danielle Martin and husband, Jared; 4 Siblings: Jeff Youngberg, Craig Youngberg, Lauri Desrosiers and husband, Ken, Terry Youngberg and wife, Cathy; 4 Grandchildren: Annabelle and Adalyn Martin, Micah and Ezra Nuhfer; several nieces and nephews; and lifelong friends Linda Moore and Diane Blair Smith. In addition to her father, she was preceded in heaven by grandparents Florence Wilkins and Ethel and George Farley, and an unborn child.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at Cable Hollow Church, 3157 Cable Hollow Road, Russell, PA, at 12:00 pm on April 9, 2024, with Rev. Allan Jones officiating. Family will receive friends one hour prior to the service starting at 11:00 am. Interment was in Foster Cemetery, Lander, PA. The family suggests memorial contributions may be made in Billie’s name to “A Safe Place” shelter for battered women and children in Warren, PA.

A mighty prayer warrior entered heaven the day Billie passed into eternity. The night she went to St. Vincent’s hospital after her heart attack, she asked me to pray for the safety of the ambulance drivers as they returned to Warren because the roads were slippery. She loved her family very much and frequently asked me to join her in praying for them. Her deepest desire was to see all of her family members accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. My deepest sympathies go out to each of her family members and friends. I am so very sorry that I cannot be there for the memorial service, but please know that I am praying for you all.
My prayers and condolences to the family Billie was a believer in Jesus Christ and in eternal life. She loved to tell others about salvation through Jesus. She also knew the power of prayer and prayed for her family and friends ❣️ May God continue to answer the prayers she prayed according to His will.
