Margree I Rhym

Born Margree Ingram Rhym, known to many as “Eurba” (a.k.a.: Big Momma) in the city of Athens, Georgia on April 14, 1925, to mother — Maggie Mae Ware, father — Charlie Ware. During the last of her 45 years, Margree resided in various parts of Arizona — Phoenix, Sun City West and Surprise.

Margree remained strong on this place called earth until a youthful age of one hundred!

Margree was more than a Black Woman that some may have attempted in reducing to just lips, hips, breast, and thighs.

If you were blessed to be surrounded by the wisdom of Margree, you quickly learned to recognize she was that Black Wo-Man with Brains!

Even though she is no longer on earth in the flesh, Margree’s spirit still remains the nucleus that has been able to survive through all these years in:

Keeping her Mind together…

Keeping her Heart together...

Keeping her family together...

She was that mother…survived by one living child — daughter, Debra Ingram and two deceased: oldest — daughter, Wilhelmina Ingram and youngest — son, Willie Charnele Ingram.

She was that grandmother…survived by two living — granddaughter, Kianga Ingram and grandson, Khary Moses Ingram and one recently deceased granddaughter, Nailah Margree Ingram.

She was that great grandmother…of three surviving females — Myrakle, Charisma, Kalea Edmond and one male — Javeon Ingram.

She was that great, great grandmother of surviving little one — Quincey Edmond II.

She was that younger sister of now deceased, Katie Lou Russell.

She was that Aunt…of surviving female Marilyn Russell-Fields and deceased female — Katie Margree Russell and Great Aunt of so many more.

She was one of the WAKANDANS to so many others including her extended Stefan’s Assisted Living family — Owners: Stefan & Lilian Bala, her caregivers who were just like her daughters — Ann and Jenelle.

Despite the nation’s constant state of turmoil, especially being a Black Woman among these times, Margree rose above all of this, and took herself back to school. Obtained her G.E.D. She went on to obtain her R.N. Degree even in the mist of losing her Heroes (a.k.a.: husbands: Willie Ingram & Nathanial Rhym).

She is that Shero who remains that blueprint in “leading by example” to her family. She was one of those strong Black Women who continued to be a positive part of this nation.

So, you better recognize that if you were blessed to be around Margree Ingram Rhym – it was not by chance.

The Powers of the Universe was orchestrating. As her daughter, I am only the vehicle chosen to deliver the message. Hopefully, you recognize and catch that you were among a Black Woman of greatness who stood strong, and still survived thru an entire century!

To you, MARGREE INGRAM RHYM, we salute the divine makings of excellence!
