Linda Ann Ingle Venable

In Loving Memory of Linda Ann Ingle Venable 
May 7, 1945 – September 9, 2025

On Tuesday, September 9, 2025, in the quiet town of Silver Creek, Georgia, the life of Linda Ann Ingle Venable came gently to its close. She was eighty years old. Born on May 7, 1945, in Floyd County, Linda was a daughter of the red clay hills and winding backroads of Northwest Georgia, rooted in the soil that shaped her days and gave her belonging.

To those who loved her, Linda was remembered not only for the length of her years but for the fullness of her spirit. She carried with her a warmth that seemed to lighten every room she entered. Her kindness was steady, her words often gentle and knowing, as if she could sense the unspoken needs of others and meet them with quiet grace.

Her life’s path wound through both labor and leisure, each chapter reflecting her unshakable strength. Linda worked first at Lindale Mill until its closing and later gave many dedicated years to T. I. Automotive before her well-earned retirement. Yet the hours she cherished most were the ones spent with her children and grandchildren, for family was the heart of her devotion. She carried a fondness for simple joys: Her little doggie Precious, Elvis playing on the radio, a frappe in hand, or a plain chicken sandwich from McDonald’s savored in her own unhurried way. She was a go-getter, one always on the move, never content to let the day pass without purpose.

Linda’s circle of love remains in those who survive her: her daughters, Mary Jean Ingle House and Jamie Ingle Fisher and her husband Larry; her grandchildren, Allen Ashley, Rebecca Kochanski and her husband Jared, Coty House and his wife Kayla, Kati House, and Bryan House; and her great-grandchildren, Oakley House, Sebastian and Jaxon Orozco, Mason House, Amelia and Henry Kochanski, Alexander and, Emersynn Sharpe She is also survived by her brother, Larry Dotson, her sister, Mildred Akins, and a host of nieces and nephews who will remember her laughter and steadfast love.

Preceding her in death were two husbands, James Ingle and Steven Daniel Venable; her parents, Junie and Ella Dotson; and her sister, Nancy Dotson. Their absence was always felt in her heart, but she bore her memories of them with grace, weaving them into her days.

Her family, carrying both sorrow and gratitude, is finalizing the details of her farewell. Pallbearers Coty House, Jared Kochanski, Hunter Sisson.  Paulabearers  Rebecca Kochanski, Kayla House, and Katie House, with honorary pallbearer Alexander Sharpe, will carry Linda to her final rest at Floyd Memory Gardens. With steady, reverent hands, they will honor the dignity with which she lived.

The service, led by Justin Grant, will be a time where faith, remembrance, and thanksgiving come together in an offering to mark a life well lived, and a heart that will continue to echo in the lives of those she leaves behind.

Good Shepherd Funeral Home has been entrusted with these arrangements, bearing the privilege of guiding her story through its earthly conclusion
