Obituary For Mrs. Nettie Ruth Ingram

Nettie Ruth Pierce Ingram was born in Burke County, Georgia, to the late Flourney and Carrie Pierce. She was preceded in death by a brother, Alvin Pierce; sisters, Leila Keepler, Ethel Pierce, and Amelia Allen; loving husband, Jesse Lee Ingram, Sr.; and sons, Jesse Lee Ingram, Jr. and Maylor Lyndell Ingram.

Nettie was educated in the Burke County, Georgia, and Anson County School systems. Nettie relocated to North Carolina under the guardianship of Ms. Marie Clark Matthews.

Nettie's unwavering dedication to the First Baptist Church of Ansonville, NC, where she served as a Deaconess, Missionary President, Sunday School teacher, and choir member, is a testament to her selflessness. Her role as the “Mother of the Church” and her valued presence in the community were sources of inspiration for us all.

Nettie's loving and devoted children, Carrie “Diane” Ingram of Greensboro, NC, Norman (Annette) Ingram of High Point, NC, Cynthia Maria (George) Rivers of Albemarle, NC, and Leron Ingram of the home, will forever cherish fond memories of her. Their love and devotion, along with the presence of seven grandchildren, Jessica Ingram, Phillip Ingram, Dr. Shalonda Ingram, Natalie Ingram, Pierce Ingram, and twins, Hailey and Jahmonte Davis, is a testament to the warmth and strength of their bond.
