Lowell Ingram Obituary
Lowell Arthur Ingram
He is survived by his loving wife, Ruth Janet Ingram; and his children, Rick Arthur Ingram of Snoqualmie, WA and Andrea Lynn Ingram of Seattle, WA. He is also survived by brothers, Rev. Leslie Francis Ingram, Jr. of Houston, TX; Robert Lawrence Ingram of Charleston, SC, and Dr. Lloyd Henry Ingram of Charleston, SC.
Lowell earned a B.A. at Seattle Pacific University and a Masters in Education at the University of Washington. He worked for the Seattle Public Schools as a teacher/counselor, where he received a Golden Acorn Award as the Outstanding Teacher of the Year. He served at the University of Washington for 17 years as a counselor/advisor and a leader in multicultural workshops and seminars internationally. Lowell was a leader of an Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) group in 1967 where university students built a three - room handmade brick schoolhouse in Ootsi, Botswana. He was a leader of a businessmen research group in Japan that was sponsored by the Lilly Foundation. For years, Lowell was a family/marriage counselor and an alcohol/drug counselor. He served on many boards of directors and, when he retired from the UW, he became a property manager for a large condominium association for 23 years.
Throughout his life, Lowell loved to tell stories and had a wonderful sense of humor. He developed a counseling tool that was used by counselors and psychologists. He loved trains and vacationed by train whenever he could. Lowell was loved and cherished by his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Ruth, Andrea & Rick....I was SO SAD to read of Lowell's Passing. My thoughts are with you DEEPLY.
To all....Lowell was married to my mother for many years. He was AN amazing step father only I thought of him as more than that. He was a very wise, sweet, loving, cuddly Dad :) he alway made me feel safe and loved and welcome as if I was his OWN daughter. I held a lot of respect for him during all of the years of knowing him.
My mother & Lowell divorced and he married an AMAZING woman herself, Ruth. :) It helps me to know that he spent his remaining years with a woman so deserving of his love who treated him SO WELL. I only wish that I had been in the area and kept in touch.
I wish I could have told Lowell (now that I am older) how much his Dedication to me as a daughter meant to me. My own Father (who has also passed) held a LOT of respect for Lowell and thought of him as a friend. He would have been at the service I know this without a doubt.
Ruth, Rick and Andrea....I have no doubt my Dad and Lowell are up in the Heavens reminiscing and making jokes because BOY were they both good at the jokes!!
Wishing you forever the BEST....Julie (Nate) , Amber (15) and Jake (13) HUGS~
