Doodle was born in Millersview, Texas, to Morris and Frances Young 
on Christmas Day, 1922. She was the sixth of seven siblings; two brothers, 
Wallace and Raymond and four sisters, Viola, Lorene, Louise and

Doodle married Jesse Lee Tinkler (Chili) Christmas Day 1939 and became 
a farmer's wife. They made their home and raised their children in 
Robert Lee. Doodle was a wonderful mother to Jerry, Paul (deceased) and 
Betty. She was also a marvelous cook. Her caramel pie was the best ever! 
You never left her table hungry!                                                                                                              

Doodle is survived by her son, Jerry and wife Kay of San Angelo and 
their children Wade, (deceased), their daughter Daria and her mother Mary, 
Cody and wife Bobbie and their son Zachary, Lindsey and husband Jason 
and their children Gracie Belle and Abby. Also surviving are her daughter, 
Betty and her children Tracie Halter and husband David and their children 
Tyler and Erica and Sherrie James and husband Dwayne and their children 
Mason and Conner.                   

Doodle was preceded in death by her parents; all her siblings, husband 
Chili, son Paul, grandson Wade.                                                                                        

Memorials may be made to the Robert Lee Care Center. Doodle had made 
her home there for the last twelve years and they treated her like 
their own family. We were blessed by her care, thank you!
