Sending love, prayers and condolences to the Ingram Family and extended families. Rev. Dr. Ingram was a pleasure to be around and it was never a dull moment. He didn't mind shouting that "the Lord Has Been Good To Me"! He didn't mind letting you know it! He will be sorely, sorely missed in the Mt. Gilead Community. Our prayers are with his churches, and members at Roper Grove and Wadeville A.M.E. Zion Churches were he pastored. I will treasure the memory our last 5th Sunday Fellowship service held this past October 29, 2023 at McAuley Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church, Mt. Gilead, NC when I sang "He Keeps On Blessing Me", he shouted the whole song and after I finished. Former Mayor of Mt. Gilead, NC, Beverly A.
