She was born in Princeton, W.Va. on Feb. 17, 1924 and was the daughter of the late Arthur Mason and Mona Martin Pritchard Perdue. In addition to her mother and father, she was preceded in death by her husband of 39 years, Ray Eugene Ingram.

In earlier years, she also served as a Girl Scout troop leader and den leader for the Cub Scouts.

Thompson of Charlottesville, Va., Nathaniel M. Thompson of Fort Collins, Colo., Brian P. Ingram of Charlottesville, and Emily R. Harper of Harrisonburg; and many special friends.
