Martin Dale Lingle

Martin Dale Lingle, known simply as "Marty" to everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him, passed away at the age of 92 peacefully on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 in Alexandria, LA.

Marty was a man whose heart was renewed through faith, which gave him a source of deep peace. He was a natural conversationalist - someone who could talk with anyone, anywhere, about anything. One of Marty's greatest joys was fishing. In earlier years, he never missed an opportunity to cast a line. He'd go with anyone, anytime. If you had a rod and a free afternoon, Marty was ready to go.

Marty was born on April 10, 1933 to Emory Lingle and Minnie Martin Lingle in Poolville, Texas. He was proceeded in death by his wife, Bennie Sue Lingle; parents, Emory and Minnie Lingle. He is survived by his sons, Dwayne Lingle and wife, Janice, of Grand Cane, Louisiana and Micheal Lingle and wife, Melissa, of Denham Springs, Louisiana; daughter, Linda Lingle of Odessa, Texas; step sons, Ronald Dillard and wife, Phyllis, of Tennessee and Kenneth Dillard and wife, Terry, of Stonewall, Louisiana; step daughter, Deborah Grabener and husband, Bruce, of Hemphill, Texas; 10 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren; and a host of step grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends.
