Austin, TX – A Celebration of Life for Angeline Doris Young, a beloved mother and community leader, has been scheduled for September 6, 2025. Angeline passed away on August 17, 2025, marking the end of a remarkable journey filled with love, faith, and community service.
Born on March 14, 1936, to Tommy Young and Annie Bell Jackson Young, Angeline was the second daughter in a loving Christian family. She grew up with one sister, Myrtle, and four brothers—Tommy Jr., Isaac, Carl, and David—all of whom preceded her in death. Angeline attended Austin public schools and later married James “Jamie” Fletcher on October 3, 1951. They enjoyed a 67-year marriage until Jamie’s passing in 2019.
As a dedicated mother, Angeline raised six children: Jamie Jr., Clifton, Carolyn, Joyce, Janette, and Barbara. While she did not work outside the home when her children were young, Angeline’s focus on familial responsibilities was unwavering. Known for her exceptional cooking skills, she often prepared enough food to share with guests. In her leisure time, she liked sewing and watching soap operas.
Reflecting her playful personality, Angeline earned the childhood nickname “Boot” due to her disdain for wearing shoes, preferring instead a pair of boots she frequently wore. Angeline was affectionately called Mother Fletcher at her church, where her role extended far beyond that of a parishioner. Her faith was integral to her life, as she led Bible studies, taught vacation Bible school, and engaged actively in church activities.
Angeline’s commitment to her community was evident; she often visited seniors to read the Bible, pray with them, and offer food. Her home was known for its hospitality, where family and friends were always welcomed. Many of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren cherished significant time under her care, leaving a lasting impact on their lives.
Angeline’s family legacy continues through her surviving children: two sons (Jamie Jr. of Houston, Clifton “Baby” of Elgin) and two daughters (Carolyn Jerrells and Janette Dorsey of Austin). She is also survived by numerous grandchildren (17), great-grandchildren (42), and great-great-grandchildren (31). She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, siblings, and two children, Barbara Fletcher and Joyce Fletcher-McClain, along with two grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Angeline Young will be remembered fondly for her strong faith, unwavering dedication to her family, culinary talents, and generous spirit. The ceremony’s schedule entails a visitation on September 6, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Cook-Walden Funeral Home in Austin, TX. This will be followed by a funeral service from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Additionally, a committal service will take place later that day at Cook-Walden Capital Parks Cemetery in Pflugerville, TX, from 2:00 PM to 2:30 PM.
