Long-time manufactured home retailer and community owner Mary “Irene” Younkin, 95, passed away in Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 5, 2015. She was chairwoman of Greenlawn Realty, and co-founder of Greenlawn Mobile Home Sales as well as Greenlawn RV Center, and several land lease communities. Inducted into the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Indiana, she and her late husband pledged funds for what is now the Floyd E. and Mary Irene Younkin Theatre at the Hall.

The Ohio Manufactured Homes Association (OMHA) says Mrs. Younkin, a dedicated supporter of OMHA, often made facilities available for OHMA sponsored educational and industry-focused events.

Honored as Ashville, Ohio’s 2000 Woman of the Year, her philanthropic generosity included a public library in Ashville, Ohio State University, a new 4-H Center, Order of the Eastern Star, and the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation.
