Gloria Patricia Lingle of Statesboro, Georgia, passed away peacefully on October 10, 2022, joining her husband in heaven. She was 88 years old.
Gloria was born to Elsie Shepherd and Harold Babcock on November 25, 1933, in Washington, DC, and was the youngest of four children. After attending Washington Bible College, she married her high school sweetheart, Robert Lingle, on July 17, 1953. Together they raised 6 children, eventually adding 22 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren.
Gloria was known for her beautiful smile and incomparable dimples. She was as genuine as they come, with a quick wit and fun sense of humor. She loved to laugh.
Being a mother was the highlight of Gloria’s life and she adored her children and grandchildren. Her sweet and loving spirit touched too many lives to count and was a blessing to her family and friends. She will be sorely missed.
Gloria is predeceased by her husband, Robert Lingle, Sr. She is survived by a brother, Harold Babcock (wife Jean), and her six children, Bob, (Amy), Steve (Laurel), Karen (Guy), Rick (Carol), David (Luanne), and Christine (Andy), as well as her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Gloria’s family would like to express their heartfelt appreciation to the staff at the Southern Manor Senior Living facility for the wonderful and attentive care they provided her over the past three years.
