Sydnie Faye Chamblee, a beloved member of her community, was born on July 29, 1941, in Monroe County. She gently passed away on November 13, 2025, at her residence, leaving behind a legacy of love that will be cherished by all who knew her.

Sydnie spent her career as a dedicated bookkeeper for Chamblee Pest Control & Fence company, known for her meticulous nature and unwavering commitment. She worked at Renasant Bank, previously, Bank of Amory and Peoples Bank as a Teller. Those who had the pleasure of working with her admired her professionalism and her warm ability to connect with customers.

Education was important to Sydnie, and she proudly graduated from Tremont High School and later pursued further studies at IJC. This commitment to learning reflected her belief in growth and nurturing one's potential.

Sydnie wore many hats throughout her life, but her roles as a mother, sister, and friend shone the brightest. She was married to the love of her life, Joe Chamblee, on June 18, 1962, and together they built a beautiful family. She is survived by her loving son, Brien Chamblee (Debbie), a dear sister, Betty Leech, and numerous nieces and nephews who will carry her memory forward.

Sydnie's faith was the guiding light of her life. She was a founding member of Victory Baptist Church, where she found joy in serving others and worshiping alongside her cherished community. Her faith was intertwined with her proudest accomplishments, her family and her deep spiritual commitment.

She had a zest for life, with hobbies that brought her joy and laughter. Sydnie relished listening to gospel music, cheering on her favorite NBA basketball teams, and enjoying gameshows, where her quick wit and laughter illuminated many moments with friends and family.

Her passing leaves a void that can never be filled. Her dear friends, including Randy and Missy Minor, Mary Riddle, and Kam and Caroline Otey, will always treasure the warmth and support she offered, standing by their sides through life's journey.

The family extends a heartfelt thank you to Lifeline Companions, for their loving care during Sydnie’s difficult time, especially to caregivers Sandi Stevens, Tricia Cunningham, and Rosemary Byram, whose compassion and support made the journey just a bit more bearable. Special thanks to Legacy Hospice.

A visitation celebrating Sydnie's life will be held on November 17, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at E. E. Pickle Funeral Home in Amory, MS. A private graveside service will be held.

Linda B. Jones, a spirited and nurturing soul, was born on May 10, 1951, in New Albany, Mississippi, and left this world peacefully at her residence on November 7, 2025, at the age of 74. As a devoted caretaker for her family and friends, Linda's life was a testament to unconditional love and support. She joyfully embraced her roles as mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend, always placing family at the center of her heart.

Educated at Carolina Community School and Nettleton School, Linda cultivated talents that extended into her professional life as she worked in furniture, construction, food services and as a seamstress. She approached each task with a hardworking spirit and a flair for entertainment, making tasks not just a job but a joyful experience for those around her.

Above all, Linda was an extraordinary family woman, raising her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren to the best of her abilities, instilling values and lessons that would last a lifetime. Her proudest accomplishment remains the loving bond she nurtured with her family, including her children: James Strawhorn (Crystal), Chana Murphy (Lane), Jay Criddle (Tammy) and stepdaughter, Liza Criddle; and her beloved sisters, Mary Sandlin (Larry), Kathryn Lowder, and Brenda Lindley (Bobby Joe). She cherished the laughter and joy shared with her grandchildren: Miranda, Hayle, Kayla, Brandon, Ashley, Alisha, Chelse, Ainslee, Zach, Emerson, Aulani, Jackson, Jake, Natalie, Jayden, Miah, Alex, Kassidy, Brayden along with her sixteen great-grandchildren and a multitude of nieces and nephews.

She was passionate about hobbies such as quilting, reading, gardening, and listening to music, which brought rhythm and color into her life and the lives of those she loved.

Her closest friends, Maggie Snelson, Dan Jones, Tammy Marrison, and Alisha Buckner, will remember her vibrant energy and how she lightened every room she entered. Linda was characterized by her outgoing personality, whether she was quilting a cherished gift for a loved one or sharing a laugh with a friend. Her excitement for life was contagious, leaving a lasting imprint on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Linda's journey, however, was not without its sorrows. She mourned the loss of her beloved son, Mickey Strawhorn; her grandson, James Strawhorn, Jr; her mother, Sarah Roberts Lowder; her father, Dallas Lowder; her sisters Blanche Rainwater, Gladys Sanchez, Ruby Clark, and Barbara Roberts; her brothers Dewey Lowder and Esker Lowder.
