Ronnie Arline Milam - April 25, 1954 - May 11, 2024

Departed: 05/11/2024 (Camp Hill)

Obituary Preview: Funeral Service for Mr. Ronnie Arline Milam, 70, of Dadeville, Alabama, will be held on Thursday, May 16, 2024 at 11:00 am in the Chapel of Langley Funeral Home. Bro. Miles Crouch and Bro. Johnny Pritchard will officiate. Burial will follow in the Dadeville City Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Wednesday, May 15, 2024 from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm at Langley Funeral Home.

Ronnie Milam passed away on Saturday, May 11, 2024 at his home. Born in Alexander City on April 25, 1954, he was the son of Arlin Jackson Milam and Myrtis Monroe McClendon. Ronnie loved his Lord and was a dedicated member of Calvary Baptist Church. He worked for Russell Corporation as a truck driver for many years and instilled that hard work and dedication into his children. Ronnie was a gifted artist who specialized in oil-based landscape paintings of beautiful trees and mountains as well as pastel work. When he wasn't painting, you could find him fishing anywhere he was able to drop a line whether it was in a boat or standing on the side of a bank.

Ronnie was a "good ole boy" with an old soul and a caring heart to all he knew. That loving nature was evident in the caretaking of various family members as well as serving as a strong father figure to many children over the years. Ronnie loved being a daddy and "Paw Paw," but he loved being a husband to his best friend, Jacqueline. The two married in February of 1977 and, since her passing in 2019, he has been longing for the day when he would be reunited with her. Ronnie never stopped loving her, and his broken heart never recovered. Although it brings sadness to see him go, Ronnie's family finds comfort in knowing that Mrs. Jacqueline was certainly waiting for him at the gates, ready to walk hand in hand once more.

Ronnie is survived by his daughters, Bridgette (Jeremie Meadors) Key; McKenzie M. (Michael) Reid; grandchildren, Greenleigh Key, Joleigh Key, Novaleigh Key, Killian Reid, Kayn Reid; and sister, Cheryl Milam Harris.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Jacqueline Milam; father, Arlin Jackson Milam; mother, Myrtis McClendon; and sister, Doris Milam Davis.

Charlie Horton will officiate. Burial will follow in the Jackson's Gap Baptist Church Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Thursday, May 9, 2024 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Langley Funeral Home.

Martha Ann Moore Morris, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, left this world enveloped in love on May 7, 2024, at the age of 87. Born to the late Fannie Bozeman Moore and Dempsey Clark Moore, Martha grew up in Dozier, AL surrounded by the warmth of a large and loving family, a foundation that would shape her own approach to life and love.

Martha's educational journey was marked by a passion for music that blossomed during her time at Dozier High School and flourished at Troy State University, where she majored in music and was a proud member of the Troy Collegiate Singers. Her love for music remained a constant thread throughout her life, touching the hearts of all who had the pleasure of hearing her play piano, violin or sing.

Martha's professional life was as successful as it was fulfilling. She owned and operated Martha's Fabric Shop in Dadeville, Alabama for five years, showcasing her creative flair and entrepreneurial spirit. However, it was her 30-year tenure as a branch manager at the Bank of Dadeville in Jackson's Gap that left a lasting impact on her colleagues and community. Martha's commitment to excellence and her genuine care for her clients made her a respected figure in the banking industry.

Her devotion to her faith was evident in her active involvement with the Jackson's Gap Baptist Church, where she served as music director, director of the children's choir, pianist, and teacher of the adult women's Sunday school class. Martha's musical talents were a blessing to her congregation, and her leadership in these roles was a testament to her generous spirit and love for her church family.

Martha's interests and talents were as varied as they were rich. She was an accomplished seamstress, a masterful gardener, and a wonderful cook, known for making the best biscuits hands down. Her home was often filled with the sounds of her piano and her infectious laughter, as she cherished being with her family and hosting gatherings that were the highlight of many occasions.

Martha is survived by her loving husband, George Richard "Buck" Morris of Jacksons Gap, AL, and her adoring children, Pamela Ann Morris (Lee) Patterson, Cathy Michelle Morris (Tony) Pitts, Richard Hal (Mary) Morris, Vance Hampton (Tami) Morris, and Jessica Faith Morris Smith. Her legacy also lives on through her twelve grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandson, all of whom brought immense joy to her life. She leaves behind her dear sister, Amber Moore (Alan) Yoe, sister-in-law, Tina Moore and a vast family of fifty-two nieces and nephews, along with her brother-in-law, Jerry Morris, and sister-in-law, Macy June Waldron. Martha was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, two sisters, two sisters-in-law, and four brothers-in-law.

Martha Ann Moore Morris was a beacon of creativity, love, and generosity. Her presence enriched the lives of those around her, and her absence will be deeply felt. Yet, her spirit will continue to inspire and guide us through the memories she leaves behind. Martha's life was a beautiful symphony of love, laughter, and service, and her melody will resonate in the hearts of her family and friends forever.

Katherine Diana King - October 30, 1944 - April 20, 2024

Departed: 04/20/2024 (Camp Hill)

Obituary Preview: A Visitation to Celebrate the Life of Katherine Diana King, 79, of Jackson's Gap, will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2024 at Langley Funeral Home. The family invites friends and family to come and visit from 2:00 until 4:00pm at Langley Funeral Home.

Mrs. Katherine Diana Fors King, known for her free-spirit and hippie vibe, passed away on Saturday, April 20, 2024, in Dadeville, Alabama. Born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, on October 30, 1944, she was the daughter of Finnish immigrants, Onni and Martha Fors. On April Fool's Day, April 1, 1982, she married her husband, humorously known as Joe King, and together they set out as two kindred spirits on life's journey which often took them to the Florida Keys for sun, sand, and the fresh ocean breeze.

Katherine was an infectious ray of light to her family and friends with a personality that could both make you laugh and bring you peace. With an eye for beauty, she would capture precious moments through the lens as a wedding and portrait photographer. She found comfort in her very own "darkroom" where these memories would come to life. If she wasn't taking pictures, Katherine could be found hunting for antique treasures and retro gems at thrift stores, fishing by the water, watching NASCAR, or sitting around the campfire.

This flower child had a love that could wrap you instantly with warmth, kindness, and acceptance. She was known to "adopt" any child that came her way, even grownups, and was ready to help if they ever needed her. Also, as a huge animal lover, you can bet that she'd be the first to pet any dog or animal that came her way. Katherine didn't just live; she marched to the beat of her own drum and lived that hippie dream of peace, love, and sunshine. There is comfort knowing that flower petals lined her path as she grooved into the sunset with a Creedence Clearwater record playing in the background.

Katherine is survived her daughter and best friend, Spring E. Boren; and the countless children and grandchildren that she adopted into her heart. She was preceded in death by her parents and loving husband, Joseph H. King.

Obituary Preview: Visitation will be at Langley Funeral Home on Friday, February 9, 2024, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. A burial will be held at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.

George L. Boyle, a decorated Air Force veteran, skilled pilot, and beloved family man, passed away surrounded by his loving family. His life was one of courage, commitment, and joy, which he shared generously with everyone he knew.

Born to Adam and Mary Boyle in Pennsylvania, George grew up with a clear vision of service and dedication. He bravely served his country as an Air Force pilot, completing four combat tours in Vietnam. His valor and skills in the sky were matched only by his passion for music and the great outdoors. Following his military career, George continued to soar as a corporate pilot for Vanity Fair and later as a private crop duster.

George's love for bluegrass music was more than a hobby; it was a lifelong soundtrack that accompanied him through good times and bad. Whether playing the fiddle or strumming a guitar, he found solace and joy in the melodies that echoed the hills of Alabama at numerous Bluegrass Festivals.

An avid hunter and outdoorsman, George's love for nature was as vast as the skies he once navigated. He found peace in the quiet of the woods and the camaraderie of fellow hunters. His respect for nature's beauty and power was a lesson he passed on to all who accompanied him on his many outdoor adventures.

George's sense of humor was as infectious as it was endearing. He had the rare ability to light up a room with his wit and make everyone feel at ease. His wisdom, often shared in humorous anecdotes and military stories, resonated with those fortunate enough to know him, guiding them through life's complexities with a gentle, knowing smile.

Courage was a hallmark of George's character. From his days in combat to the challenges of everyday life, he faced each situation with a brave heart and a steady mind. He was a pillar of strength for his family, friends, and community, and his legacy of bravery will continue to inspire.

George's life was a tapestry woven with love for his family. He is survived by his devoted wife, Alice Boyle of Camp Hill, AL; his son, James A. Boyle (Barbara) of Camp Hill, AL; stepsons, Matthew Kersten (Cheryl), Dwight Kersten (Yvonne); stepdaughters, Cindy Nixon (Pat), Lisa Devlin (Bill), and Alice Jean Mangol (Joe). His love and laughter will be carried on by his eleven grandchildren, including local residents Brittany Winston (Zane) and Morgan Boyle (Brandon Carter), and fifteen great-grandchildren who brought him immense joy.

George's son, Timothy Gene Boyle, preceded him in death, leaving a space that he held in his heart with fond memories and love.

George L. Boyle lived a life full of passion, purpose, and playfulness. His spirit, marked by laughter, music, and courage, will continue to resonate in the lives of those he touched. He leaves behind a legacy of love, service, and an unquenchable zest for life that will forever be cherished by his family and all who knew him. As we bid farewell to this remarkable man, we celebrate the indelible mark he left on our world. George's journey through life was a flight well navigated, a song well played, and a battle well fought. Rest in peace, dear George, you have truly earned your wings.

Langley Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of George LeRoy Boyle.
