Florence Linda Gage Ingle Knight was born December 7, 1940 in McNairy County, TN the daughter of the late Arthur and Amelia Teague Gage.
She was united in marriage to Buell Ingle on May 25, 1957. Mr. Ingle preceded her in death on September 21, 1998, following 41 years of marriage.
Florence grew up in the Forty Forks community and attended Bethel Springs Elementary School. She worked for approximately four years as a Home Health Aide, but her greatest vocation was that of a loving wife and mother. Florence enjoyed canning vegetables and cooking, and was Baptist in belief. She learned how to drive at the age of 40, but never quite got the hang of it, which resulted in many adventurous trips with her family as passengers. Florence had a faithful canine companion, Piglet, whom she loved very much.
Florence departed this life on December 17, 2019 in Jackson, Tennessee at the age of 79 Years, 10 Days. She is survived by a daughter, Sylvia Kay Naylor of Finger, TN; two sons, Stacey Buell Ingle and Stanley Daryl Ingle, both of Eastview, TN; six grandchildren: Josh King, Megan Robinson, Josh Naylor, Alison Ingle, Emily Ingle, and Ryder Ingle; 12 great-grandchildren; four sisters: Joann Reynolds of Bethel Springs, TN, Mary Moffett of Adamsville, TN, Cathy Weaver of Texas, and Jackie Matlock of Selmer, TN; a brother, John Ross Gage of Bethel Springs, TN; and many extended family and friends.
In addition to her husband and parents, Florence was preceded in death by two sisters, Rebecca Sims and Sheila Moore; and a brother, Arthur Ray Gage.
