Ms. Alberta Louise Marsh Ingle, age 102, formerly of Bonifay, Florida passed away March 5, 2026, at The Neighborhood at Grove Park Memory Care in Dothan, Alabama.

In addition to her parents, Alberta was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Williams ‘Pete’ Ingle, one grandson, ‘Chuckie’ White, her sisters, Judy Johnson and Betty Hall, a brother, Harold ‘Nuni’ Marsh Jr., and a half-brother, Frances Marsh.
Ms. Ingle is survived by her two daughters, Peggy Pelham and Jerry Pelham and Theresa Peacock and Kim Peters all of Dothan, AL; her ‘FAVORITES’ grandchildren, Robert ‘Bobby’ Bruner and Rebekah Savage of Birmingham, AL; one brother, Robert Allen ‘Bob’ Marsh of IN.
Alberta grew up in Penville, Indiana, where she spent much of her childhood with her grandparents. Her family traveled often due to her father owning and operating telephone companies. Eventually, the family settled in Sebring, Florida, where Alberta met the love of her life, Pete Ingle.
Alberta and Pete later moved to Bonifay in the summer of 1962 when Tri-County Telephone Company was sold and Pete was sent to manage the new Florida holdings. Bonifay would become the community where Alberta devoted many years of her life serving others and raising her family.
A gifted seamstress, Alberta lovingly made many of her own clothes as well as all of her daughters’ clothing. She was known for her talent, creativity, and attention to detail. Alberta was also very active in her community. She devoted countless hours to church activities, civic organizations, and many other local efforts that supported families and children.
Alberta lived many happy years in Bonifay before moving to Whitehall Assisted Living in Dothan to be closer to her two daughters. As her health declined, she later moved to The Neighborhood at Grove Park Memory Care, where she continued to be surrounded by loving care.
Throughout her life, Alberta maintained a strong personality, a positive outlook, and a determined spirit that left a lasting impression on everyone around her.

Janice C. Atwell, a cherished presence in the lives of her family and friends, passed away peacefully on March 4, 2026, in her hometown of Dothan, Alabama. Born on October 31, 1950, Janice lived a life defined by her caring nature, her devotion to family, and her spirited personality.
Janice was the beloved daughter of the late Walter Coates and Lillie Douglas Coates. She was also preceded in death by her brothers, James Lane and William F. “Leonard” Lane, and her sister, Nellie Garrett.
Her greatest joy in life was her family, who loved her deeply as both “Mom” and “Mimi.” She leaves behind her children, Teresa Williams, Tracy Dickey, Steven Atwell (Jessica), and Shane Atwell; her grandchildren, Shannelle Blankenship (Alex), Shea Strickland (Cody), Wesley Pybus (Kendra), Hunter Pybus (Rose Freeman), Joah Atwell (Peyton Hodge), Jaxon Atwell, Adaline Atwell, and Ally Mae Atwell; several great-grandchildren, and her sister, Eva Loyless.
Janice was truly the heart of her family. Known as the best babysitter ever, she loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, always welcoming them with open arms and a loving heart. Her family was her greatest blessing, and she never missed a chance to support them, whether it was attending ball games, sharing meals together, or simply enjoying time together.
Janice was a proud member of the Elks Lodge, where she loved spending time with friends, dancing, bowling, and enjoying the fellowship. She also enjoyed relaxing by the pool at the Elks, often just dipping her feet in the water and soaking in the good company around her.
She had a special gift in the kitchen and was well known for her delicious homemade cooking. Her biscuits were considered world-class by those who loved her, and her desserts were legendary. Family gatherings were made even sweeter with her cheesecake, pound cake, peanut butter cake, and colorful rainbow cakes.
Janice also enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. She loved going out to lunch with friends, visiting the beauty shop, and proudly texting her children afterward to show off her freshly styled hair. She and her brother James shared many fond memories enjoying meals together at local favorites like Jacks and The Wiener Wagon.
Her faith was an important part of her life, and she often expressed her gratitude with the words, “What a beautiful day the Lord has made.” Anyone who knew Janice knew her warm greeting when answering the phone — a cheerful “Hey Baby.” She was caring, loving, strong-willed, and sometimes a little stubborn and argumentative, but always full of heart and devotion to those she loved.
Funeral services to honor and celebrate the life of Janice C. Atwell will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at Ward Wilson Funeral Home with Reverend Dennis Singletary officiating. Janice will be laid to rest at Memory Hill Cemetery following the service. Friends and family are invited to gather from 1:00 p.m. until the time of service.
