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. She was born on July 26, 1923, in Pennville, Indiana to the late Harold Clark Marsh and Margaret Irey Marsh. 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.
Funeral services will be held 3:00 PM Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at Bonifay First United Methodist Church with Rev. Ryan Martin officiating. Interment will follow in the Bonifay Cemetery with Peel Funeral Home and Bonifay Crematory in charge of arrangements. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service from 2 to 3 PM Tuesday at Bonifay First United Methodist Church.
