Angeline Janet Setter
Angeline Setters passed away peacefully in her sleep at The Dalles veterans’ home on March 18, 2026. She was born in Musselshell County in the city of Roundup Montana on August 11, 1933, to the parents of Kenneth and Caroline Strang. She was the eldest child followed by her sister, Julie Huffman, and Richard Strang.
Her family moved to the Portland Oregon area when she was very young as her father moved into the area and worked as a steam engineer. Angie was a very devoted Christian lady and at the age of 20 she went to the national workers training program and was certified to teach Sunday School.
As she got older and started to work, she had a roommate. Angie explained to us later that there were no minister available in Roseburg Oregon, where they resided because it was St. Patrick’s Day, so they found a minister in Washington State and the Reverend Howard C Cole married them.
Angie and her spouse wasted no time and started a family. Richard setters was the first born, following with Janice setters, Carol Setters, and Robin Setters. Angies husband Chester bought a small farm in Douglas County outside of Roseburg where Angie and her kids lived for a short time before moving to Troutdale, Oregon, where Chester got a job as a contractor building homes in Vancouver and Angie had the large responsibility of taking care of their children while he was at work.
Angies whole family were then facing life changing challenges due to the tragedy that happened on June 30, 1962, when Angie’s husband Chester was killed in a traffic accident. Angie never married and raised all her children on her own.
Angie had a very bad traffic accident in 1972. Her sister, Julie, had to come and stay with the children while she was recovering in the hospital. She came home later with a cast on both legs. She had lost her kneecaps and had therapy for quite some time to be able to walk normally again. In 1976 Angie and her children moved to Dufur Oregon, Dufur reminded Angie of her childhood memories in Montana. She then bought a restaurant right across the street from Dufur High School. She named the restaurant “Angie’s Place’ where all her children worked part time helping her out. Needless to say, it didn’t work out. Her and her children then moved to The Dalles Oregon, where most of them have lived since.
Angie worked in The Dalles at the salvation army where she was managing a apartment complex through Fadness Realty and worked at the Wasco County nursing home.
Angie’s sister, Julie Huffman, is the surviving member of her family. Angie had four children and seven grandchildren. She will be sorely missed; we know that she is with the lord now.
