Roger Howard Ensley, Sr., 93, of Ringgold, Georgia, passed away on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

He was a lifelong resident of Ringgold, was of the Baptist faith, and proudly served in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. Roger worked with General Electric for over 40 years before retiring in 1996. During his time there as a tool and dye maker, he worked in the same building although the company changed owners four times.

Roger is survived by his children, Ronald Ensley and Sally Ensley; sister, Melba Jean Davidson; grandchildren, Nancy (Eddie) Riddell, Jennifer (Stephen) Robinette, Justin Ensley, as well as eight great-grandchildren.
