Linzie Oney Obituary
Sep 1, 1958 - Nov 7, 2025
Blairsville, GA
Linzie Ray Oney, 67, of Blairsville, Georgia, passed away peacefully Friday, November 7, 2025. He was born in New London, Ohio, September 1, 1958, to the late Virgil and Ruth Oney.
Linzie is survived by his beloved wife of 46 years, Sally Ann Oney (Selman); his son, Jason Joseph Oney, and his wife, Anna Maria Oney (Linzie's favorite daughter-in-law) of Gainesville, Georgia; and his cherished grandson, Stetson Conway Oney, who was his greatest joy.
He is also survived by his sisters and brothers, Judy Starcher and husband, Richard of Greenwich; Regina Noble of Greenwich; Lanny Whitaker and wife, B.J. of Ashland; Alma Carney and husband, Joe of North Fairfield; Rita Bowling and husband, Dee of New London; LaDonna Hicks and husband, Steve of Clyde; and April Graves and husband, Ron of New Bern, North Carolina.
He was preceded in death by his sister, Louanna Hall and brother, Dan Whitaker (wife Regina).
Linzie dedicated nearly 40 years to the corrugated box industry, specializing in sales, service, and rebuild work. He recently celebrated 30 years with Corrugated Replacements in Blairsville, Georgia. Linzie took great pride in his work and genuinely enjoyed helping his customers, many of whom became lifelong friends.
He gave back to his community as a volunteer coach for the Union County 4-H Shotgun Team while his son participated in middle and high school. A proud Ohio native, Linzie was an avid fan of THE Ohio State Buckeyes, but he also cheered for the University of Georgia Bulldogs on Saturdays, as well.
Above all, Linzie was a loving and devoted husband, a fantastic father, and an incredibly proud grandfather. His favorite pastime in recent years was sharing stories and photos of his grandson, Stetson, with everyone he met.
Visitation will be from 10 a.m. - noon Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Eastman Funeral Home, 200 W Main Street, New London, OH 44851, with the funeral service immediately following.
Linzie will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but his warmth, humor, and devotion to family will live on in the hearts of those he touched.

Linzie was not only an employee, but he was my friend. We met over 30 years ago when he worked at Don Mowry Flexo in Ohio. Our journey began when I finally convinced him to move down from Ohio to Georgia, and work for Corrugated. Note, this took me 3 years to persuade him, Sally and Jason. Linzie was a man of integrity and dedication, his work ethic superb. The knowledge he had about all the parts and S&S machinery was amazing. He was an asset to all in our industry. Customers from all over would call him in need of help; this was pretty much on a daily basis, and he could rattle off part numbers without even looking them up. They were all in his head!
Linzie battled his illness for 19 years. He never let it define him. There were days that Sally would drive him to work because he was too weak to drive. He would drag an oxygen bottle around, the treatments he had to endure, but he kept going. He was very determined, and work was one facet of his life that kept him going.
Linzie will be missed by all that knew him. His family, friends, co-workers, and customers. He made life better for all of us. My friend, you will be missed dearly. Nothing will be the same without you, but you will not be forgotten. Your memory will live on, and you'll always have a place in my heart.
Bob Lee, CEO.
