Tommy Ingle was born on November 23, 1946, in McNairy County, TN, to the late Grady Sylvester and Delphia Mae Houston Ingle. He was one of fourteen children and grew up surrounded by a large and loving family. 

On April 29, 1967, he exchanged vows with the love of his life, Glenda Julian, with whom he shared 57 beautiful years of marriage.

Throughout his life, Tommy dedicated himself to the craft of carpentry. His hands brought forth creations that stand as a testament to his skill and hard work. Beyond his profession, he found joy in the simple pleasures of life - whether it was piddling around, tending to his garden, or cherishing moments with his family. His grandsons held a special place in his heart, and the time spent with them brought him immense happiness.

Mr. Ingle departed this life on June 15, 2024 in Finger, Tennessee at the age of 77 Years, 6 Months, 23 Days. He is survived by his devoted wife, Glenda Ingle; his son, Russell Ingle and wife Melissa of Eastview, TN; three beloved grandchildren: Jake Ingle and wife Amanda, Dawson Ingle, Jagger Ingle; his brother, William Ingle and wife Doris of Eastview, TN; and a host of extended family and friends.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Ingle was preceded in death by 12 brothers and sisters.

Mr. Ingle leaves behind a legacy of love and memories that will be forever cherished by those who knew him best.
