Thomas L. Ingram was born in Hanford California on November 17th, 1959, to Frank V Ingram and Lena B Ingram (Belle). He was the 4th of 5 children.
In his childhood Tom lived in several states, among them Washington, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Wyoming and, thus was born his love for travel. He has been a resident of Washington most of his adult life.
He worked at Holiday Park Retirement Home in Shelton for several years. He eventually became an EMT and then Paramedic. He worked for Mason County, Shepherd Ambulance and American Medical Response. He was medically retired in the early nineties after a stroke. He attended and completed several college courses. He received an Associate of Ministry in 1978 and has performed several marriages and memorials for friends and family.
Thomas was well-known for his kindness, quick wit, and ability to connect deeply with those around him. Even after his medical retirement, his love for travel stayed with him.
Tom loved nature gardening and travel. He drove all over the United States in his younger days and he and his wife Debi, RV'd from coast to coast until illness brought them home. He is survived by his loving family and friends and will be greatly missed.
With his gentle heart and giving nature he was always there for family and friends. He is now with his wife, Debi and family that has gone before him.
