Obituary For Linda Ingram

Linda Ingram, age 93, of Sherman, went to be with Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior, on 24 May, 2020 in Richardson, Texas near her family, passing of natural causes.

Linda was born in Ravenna, Texas to Albert and Ceferina Rodriguez on 18 March, 1927. She was educated in the public schools in Sherman afterwhich she married Arlon Ingram. She was a sales associate for Dillards for 30 years, retiring at age 79. During her tenure at Dillards, she was recipient of numerous Associate of the Month recognitions as well as annual Dillard corporate awards, acknowledging her for outstanding sales and customer service. However, her greatest joy at work was derived from her personal relationships with customers and work associates.

Before moving to be near family, Linda was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church Sherman, where she faithfully grew in her personal relationship with her Lord, Jesus Christ.

Linda was selfless, freely and lovingly giving of herself and her possessions to family and to friends, often serving as an uplifting spirit during difficult times. Linda’s gregarious, generous and loving nature was shared in abundance with her daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and her family of five sisters, three brothers and their children.

    Aunt Linda, What a special lady! She had such great gift of talking to everyone with genuine interest and ease. I will remember her flair for fashion too. She lived a long life and will be missed. Trisha Thompson

    Aunt Linda you will always be in my heart. You were like a second mom to me who always shared faith based wisdom for my life. As a young girl, you always had a place at the table for any of us nieces or nephews in the neighborhood. As a teenager when I needed advice, I would stop by to just talk. You had time, and you prayed with me. When I recovered from surgery, you took care of me. As an adult, you opened your heart even more for my daughter Laura. Your love for her was precious to me and to her. Your gift for church camp was where she found Jesus at age 9. That decision led to a beautiful purple study Bible for kids from you. She still has it. You were always at Laura's life moments that warmed my heart beyond I could ever express in words. Then, when Laura became a mom, you opened your heart again even more to love our Brody. Finally, I think back over the years with your baby Pam and my mom bringing me to wherever you sisters were. We started out in the play pen together and our close hearts were weaved together to be expressions of our wonderful moms. We love you Aunt Inda which was what Laura called you from the time she started talking at age 2. I celebrate your life my wonderful loving aunt!

    Linda was a good friend of my mother's. She took pride in her work, providing for her family, and in her appearance. Whether meeting at church or in a store, there was always a pleasant greeting, friendly smile, and words of encouragement. A long life, well lived.

Love you and will miss you....never forgotten as are the rest of the Rodriquez family....many memories always to be cherished... One large family that led to many other large families.... Of which I am thankful to be blood kin to and have been a part of theirs and your lives..... it's been a Blessing even as the years have separated us in distance in age We're still Familia......
