Ruth is predeceased by her husband James C. Ingram. Ruth worked as a dedicated real estate professional in the County for many years before pursuing a career as a corporate relocation specialist.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to her caregivers Nora, Gina, and Dee of Northern Manor Nursing Home who cared for Ruth compassionately and with dignity for the past 6 years. Visitation will be held at Hannenman's Funeral Home on Tuesday, January 3 from 4 – 7 pm. A funeral service of Christian burial will be held at Grace Episcopal Church on Wednesday, January 4, at 11 am.
