Fern M. Ingold

Fern went to be with the Lord, Friday, June 30, 2017 surrounded by her loving family at Alamo Nursing Home in Kalamazoo, MI.

She was born December 2, 1918 in Otsego the daughter of Raymond and Ruth (St. Martin ) Newton. Fern was a Wayland High School graduate and went to Nazareth School of Nursing to become a Registered Nurse. On November 8, 1942 in Wayland she married Donald Ingold. Fern had lived in Kalamazoo and Galesburg and had worked at the VA Hospital in Battle Creek as a RN until her retirement in 1984.

In her spare time she enjoyed gardening, doing flower arrangements and cooking, especially her famous mac and cheese. Fern had a good sense of humor and could use her quick wit to make you laugh and to bring a smile to your day.

Most of all she loved her 6 children who survive, Alfred Ingold, Julie LeMahieu, Russell Ingold, Merle (Kim) Ingold, Mary (Byron) Graham and Donna (Ricky) Robbins; 14 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; sisters, June Farnum and Imogene Wentland; daughter-in-law, Jan Ingold, grandson, Cody Robbins and great-granddaughter, Taryn Rambadt.

According to her wishes cremation has taken place.

Dear family members of Fern.

We knew Fern when she shared a room with our mother at Alamo. We talked with her on many occasions and she was a nice lady. We are so sorry for your loss.

I miss Fern so much. Every Monday morning she got her hair done at the nursing home beauty shop. We’d sing old songs together and she always had a good story to tell. We often said The Lord’s Prayer and prayed together. Shes truly missed but we all know where she is now and that she’s at peace.
