Paul S. Ingerson, 68, passed away on July 31, 2025, in Corry, Pennsylvania, surrounded by family. Born in Jamestown, New York, on July 27, 1957, Paul was raised in Bemus Point and graduated from Maple Grove High School in 1975.

Paul was a devoted father and Papa whose greatest joy in life came from spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He never missed a chance to celebrate their accomplishments, offer his support, and proudly tell anyone within earshot just how wonderful they were. His love for them was fierce, unconditional, and deeply rooted in everything he did.

He is survived by his daughters: Sharron (Chris) DeRosier of Deltona, FL; Nichole (Casey) Messenger of Corry, PA; and Samantha Ingerson of Palm Coast, FL. He leaves behind seven beloved grandchildren: Nicholas Ingerson, Marie DeRosier, Kyle Messenger, Corey DeRosier, Jacob DeRosier, Collin Messenger, and Maryann Ingerson. He is also survived by his sister Donna Ingerson, brother Richard Ingerson, and many cherished nieces and nephews.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Helen and Marion Ingerson; his siblings, Sharon, Jayne, and Chuck; and the love of his life, Patty. The idea that he's reunited with them again brings comfort to those he left behind.

A lifelong fan of NASCAR, the Buffalo Bills, and the Florida Gators, he appreciated the simple things in life and didn't need much to be happy, just a cold beer and the hottest chicken wings you could find.

In keeping with Paul's wishes, he will be cremated. A private family service to honor his life will be held at a later date.

Arrangements are in care of Bracken Funeral Home, Inc., 315 N. Center St, Corry, PA 16407.

Paul's legacy lives on in the hearts of his children and grandchildren, who will miss him more than words can express.
