Linda H. Bentley, the proud, loving wife of Randall Bentley, left this world Thursday, December 2, 2021, for her heavenly home.  Per her request for a peaceful goodbye, she was laid to rest at Dublin Memorial Gardens on Friday, December 3rd.

She cherished and raised 3 grateful children of her own, Laurice Bentley, Jaimie Bentley (Melissa) Brandi Connor, (Bill), and loved and cared for countless others.  Along with her children, her greatest pride and joy in life was her grandchildren, Joel Riley Bentley, Jay Gregory, Matthew Gregory, Mariella Gregory, and Lila Connor.  She is also survived by her siblings, Billy Howell (Jeanette, Bobbie Jean Scott, Sandra Serensky (Tom), and brother-in-law, Tony Bentley, numerous nieces, and nephews.

She adored animals and served as an amateur consultant to friends who worried over dogs in labor or sneezing kitties. She is also survived by her loyal dogs, Zeva and Dexter, and her conservatively affectionate cat, Sam. She worked numerous years as an optometry tech and ended her working years at Mohawk Industries.  She lived a simple, quiet life, and those who were fortunate enough to know her felt her deep, quiet love.

She was preceded in death by her husband Randall, her parents Bloyce and Verna Howell, brothers Larry and Jimmy Howell, and sister Mavis Tanton.
