GLEN ALLAN — Linda Kay Ingram, age 64, a longtime resident of the Rolling Fork area, died after a long struggle with complications from chronic illness on Sunday, July 24, at Unity Hospital in Searcy, Ark.

Mrs. Ingram was born on January 11, 1952, in Marks to George Farris McGrew and Ethel Modess Martin, who preceded her in death. Three siblings also preceded her in death, Charles Edward McGrew, Patricia (Dean) Oswald and Tommy (Janey) McGrew. Her beloved dog, Baby, also preceded her in death.

She is survived by her husband of 30 years, Pee Wee Ingram. She also had two living brothers, Earl (Margaret) McGrew of Marysville, Calif. and Bobby (Marilyn) McGrew of Rolling Fork; as well as a sister, Ethel (Leroy) Taylor of Mounds, La.; and a sister-in-law, Debbie Scroggins of Butlerville, Ark. She is also survived by a host of uncles and aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews, as well as many lifelong friends.

Linda, also known as Katie, never had children of her own, but she found much joy in caring for her nieces and nephews and other children in her life; shopping for things to please them and taking them out for activities was a favorite pastime. She enjoyed cooking large meals for family times. Being a wife and decorating her home was something she also took great pride in. Her “child” was Baby, her Pomeranian dog, who could almost always be spotted wherever Katie was, was spoiled rotten, and often could be seen going to town for ice cream.

The family welcomes visitors at Glenwood Funeral Home, Walnut Street, Rolling Fork on Friday, July 29, from 5 to 8 p.m.

The funeral will be held on Saturday, July 30, at 10 a.m. at the Church of God of Prophecy in the community of Tallula on Mississippi Highway 1 between Mayersville and Onward. It will be officiated by Elizabeth Franklin and Daryl Cook.

Interment will follow at County Line Cemetery, Glen Allan.

Pallbearers will be Matthew Scroggins, Caleb Scroggins, Johnny Scroggins, Mark Brewster, Chris Gilley and Jacob Layrock.
