John Ingold

John Wayne Ingold, 75, passed away peacefully at Moses Cone Hospital on Sunday February 16, 2025 surrounded by his loved ones. He was born in Greensboro, the son of John Monroe and Mildred Magaleen Cook Ingold.

John was a graduate of Ragsdale High School and attended Mitchell College in Statesville. He enjoyed a 35-year career as a sales representative for several insurance agencies over the course of his career including Jefferson Pilot, Western-Southern and Monumental Life Insurance.

John was an immensely talented golfer who spent his early years playing and competing in many local tournaments. He enjoyed the opportunity to caddy for Dave Stockton and offer golf lessons to new and upcoming golfers throughout his life. One of his proudest moments was when he won the Greensboro City Pro/Am tournament in 1968. His success within the sport totaled him a wonderful collection of trophies of over 30 displayed not only in his home but at Ragsdale High School as well.

He was happily married for 46 years to his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Sandra Chandler Ingold, who preceded him in death on October 25, 2015. He was also preceded in death by both of his parents and his beloved sister, Sharon Ingold Phillips.

John is survived by his daughter, Stephanie Ingold Flippin and husband Darren of Greensboro; three sisters; Joanne Ingold Blake and husband J.D. of North Myrtle Beach, SC, Debi Ingold Snider and husband Kurt of High Point, Teri Ingold Cranford and husband Mark of Browns Summit; two granddaughters, Charlotte Flippin and Allison Flippin. He also leaves behind a large extended family of nieces and nephews whom he also loved dearly.

John Ingold lived his life with purpose, kindness and an endless love for his family. Our best memories will be of his humor, his vibrant personality and his ability to offer sound advice while simultaneously leaving you with a laugh and a smile on your heart. John always wanted the best for his family and would not rest until everyone felt loved and had what they needed for success.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday February 25, 2025 at the Hanes-Lineberry Funeral Home Sedgefield Chapel conducted by Pastor Steve Roberts. Interment will follow in Guilford Memorial Park. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Tuesday from 1:00 p.m. until service time.
