Services for Yvonne Ingram, 88, of Killeen, will be held at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday at Immanuel Lutheran Church, In Killeen, with Pastor Veronica Smith officiating. Ms. Ingram died peacefully on February 14, 2019 with friends at her side.
She was born August 22, 1930, in Flat, Texas where she was also reared and educated, graduating from high school in 1947. She married Joel Wesley Ingram September 12, 1947, in Flat, Texas and moved to Fort Hood. They later lived in Killeen and Harker Heights.
Yvonne worked for Civil Service at Fort Hood for a number of years. She enjoyed playing bridge, following their son's activities in the Killeen Kangaroo band, supporting the Killeen High School football team, and participating in the Castle Heights Garden Club. Her fondest memories go back to her family and friends enjoying song fests as their son played instruments and they sang along. She actively supported the ministries of Immanuel Lutheran Church throughout her life. The talents she most enjoyed sharing were singing in the choir and engaging with teens of the church and community when she and Wes served as youth sponsors.
Yvonne was preceded in death by her husband, Joel W. Ingram; her son, Wesley Ingram, Jr.; her parents, Carl and Opal McCutchen; and her brother, Carl McCutchen and Joe Dean McCutchen.
She is survived by three Godchildren: Edward Daude of Dallas; Terri Schorn McCoy of Pasadena; and Madison Dent of Temple. Yvonne leaves to mourn her passing many longtime friends who are her family. She transcends to that place God has prepared for those who love Him, "that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived."
Friends will receive visitors from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home. After the funeral service Wednesday, burial will be at Immanuel Cemetery on Old FM 440 Road.
Memorials may be made to Immanuel Lutheran Church.
