Delores “Rusty” Ingram
Dolores Joan Ingram (Rusty) passed away on Friday, May 8, 2026, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, at the age of 92. She was a long-time resident of Holdenville, moving to Shawnee in 2017 after the death of her husband, W.D. (Dub) Ingram. She was also predeceased by her parents, Thomas Adams and Edith Tanner Adams Ramsey, and her first son, Thomas David Ingram. Dolores was born December 3, 1933, at Springer, Oklahoma.
She is survived by three children, Donna (Roger) Morris of Shawnee, Dale (Cindy) Ingram of Broken Arrow, and Dean Ingram of Dallas, Texas, in addition to her daughter-in-law Jumper Ingram of Holdenville, her grandchildren, Blaine (Terin) Morris, Kisha (Clay) Bumpers, Aaron (Larra) Morris, Krisi (Greg) Barns, Russell (Tracey) Ingram, Kelsey (T.J.) Ingram, Stacey Ingram, Kendal (Tyler) Hess, and Rachel (Jack) Cedar, and great-grandchildren, Brodie, Gabbie, Sophie Morris, Kayla and Alec Bumpers, R.J. and Larron Morris, Max Barns, Reagan and Landon Ingram, Emerson Ingram, Pax and Hailey Spencer, Cole Hess, and Kane Cedar. Also surviving are her beloved brothers, Thomas Adams of Calera, Oklahoma, and Kenneth Adams of Miami, Florida, nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and other family. Mom was a homemaker until she began work at a newly built Wal Mart in Holdenville, in 1978 where she was a department manager and later became an assistant manager. She enjoyed her time there and made good friends. After retiring, she and Dad enjoyed traveling, looking for antiques and curios to stock their rented booths, and working cooperatively with others at Cobblestone. She was an avid follower of the sports activities of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A highlight of her life was a 2005 trip to Thailand with a granddaughter to visit her son, Dean. One of the last things she said was “I take care of my family and they take care of me.” We will miss her. A family memorial service will be held at a later date.
Services are under the direction of Hudson-Phillips Funeral Home in Holdenville, Oklahoma.
