Wendy T. Ingram

With profound sadness, we share the tragic loss of Wendy Ingram, who passed away on February 21, 2025, at the age of 66. She was a cherished mother, Grammy, sister, daughter and friend whose warmth, selflessness, and unwavering love touched everyone who knew her.

She was the heart of our family, the steady compass that pulled us all toward her, the warmth that filled every space she entered. Her smile radiated the kindness and light within her, her laughter had the power to fill a room and your heart all at once, and her love was unwavering—boundless, unconditional, and endlessly comforting. She was our home.

Wendy found pure, immeasurable joy in becoming a grandmother. Her grandbabies were her world, and she cherished every moment spent supporting them—at every event, in every milestone, in every little moment that brought them happiness. But beyond that, she simply loved being with her children. Road trips, concerts, or having someone by her side for a movie, those were the moments she treasured most. She was as stubborn as they came when faced with something new, but once she stepped outside her comfort zone, she would shine. She showed that shine best on one of her greatest adventures—fulfilling a lifelong dream of traveling through Europe with her sister. It was a memory she eagerly shared with anyone willing to listen, her excitement never dimming.

She was not only the world’s best Grammy but also a woman of remarkable talent and creativity. She was a gifted pianist who shared her talent in countless ways, enriching her church community through music. Her artistic spirit shined through in every project she touched, effortlessly mastering any arts and crafts put before her. Blessed with a beautiful singing voice, a gift she carried through her time excelling in high school theater. Her talents were endless, but it was the love she poured into everything she did that made them truly special.

Whether through her own hidden wild streak or the undeniable influence of her equally wild children, Wendy was always ready to rock out. My Chemical Romance was her favorite band, Hugh Jackman her favorite singer (and man in general), and if she wasn’t at a concert or show, she was blasting music at full volume in her car…which is perhaps the real reason she sometimes had to ask us to repeat ourselves. She was a giggly, bubbly, wonderful soul, always on the lookout for the next bit of innocent trouble to get into, always ready to share in the joy of life with the people she loved.

Her absence is immeasurable. But so is the love she left behind, woven into every memory, every song, every shared laugh, and every moment of comfort she gave so effortlessly.

“So long and goodnight.” 

Wendy is survived by her children Drew Ingram, Joel Ingram, Jessica Richman, Bowen Ingram, and Samantha Grothusen, her 10 grandchildren, her parents Norman and Donna Tattersall, her sister Pamela, and her brother Gordon who will all carry her love until we meet again. 

A celebration of life will be held March 7th at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints building on Galveston and Higley in Gilbert, followed by graveside services at Gilbert Memorial Park Cemetery. Donations of flowers are welcome. Yellow, her favorite color, and tulips, her favorite flower, will help us in surrounding her with the same beauty she brought into our lives.
