Thelma Jean Ingram's Obituary
Thelma Jean Ingram, a beloved resident of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on July 8, 2023, at the age of 91. She was born on May 22, 1932, in Lebanon, Tennessee, to her loving parents, the late Paul and Ruby Dickens. Thelma's passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew her, but her memory will forever be cherished.
Thelma's life was profoundly influenced by her encounter with the love of her life, Clarence Raymond Ingram, during her youth. Clarence's unwavering pursuit won her heart, and on December 16, 1950, they united in marriage in Tennessee. Together, they embarked on a remarkable journey, blessed with three children: Lynn, Deborah, and Tim.
Devotion to her faith and family defined Thelma's existence. Following their move to Oklahoma, she pursued her passion for spirituality by attending Rhema Bible College, where she successfully graduated after two years. Thelma possessed a servant's heart, continuously extending a helping hand to those in need. She selflessly volunteered her time at numerous shelters and within the church community, making a profound impact on the lives she touched.
Thelma was not only a compassionate soul but also a gifted seamstress and upholsterer. When her children were young, she ensured that her daughters had a new dress to wear every Sunday, personally sewing each one with love and care. Her skillful hands were also responsible for creating exquisite decorations that adorned their home during the festive season. Thelma's Christmas displays always radiated warmth, joy, and her meticulous attention to detail.
Throughout her life, Thelma Jean Ingram exemplified the virtues of love, faith, and dedication. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and a profound commitment to her family and community. Thelma's memory will forever live on in the hearts of her loved ones, who will forever hold dear the precious moments they shared with her. Thelma Jean Ingram will be profoundly missed but forever remembered as a beacon of love and a testament to a life well lived. "A Veteran of God, Well Done Good and Faithful Servant."
