Tony was a member of the Church of Christ and was a retired contractor, having owned Ingram and Ingram Construction, with his son Jeff. He had previously worked for the State of Tennessee in the State Architects Office in Nashville, Tennessee.

Tony was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and waters sports.   He loved wood working and has made beautiful pieces of furniture for family and friends.   Always preferring the outdoors, he spent many hours riding his horse and tractor on his Culleoka farm, until his battle with Parkinson’s made it impossible.

The time most precious to Tony was that spent with his late wife of 60 years, Eva, his children and grandchildren. He leaves behind to cherish his memory his daughter: Tracie (Mike) Dickey of Columbia; daughter-in-law: Connie Scroggins Ingram of Culleoka; brother: Ronald (Ruth) Ingram of Culleoka; grandchildren: John Dickey of Columbia, Caroline Dickey of Chattanooga and Bailey Ingram of Murfreesboro; many nieces, nephews, beloved friends and Church family.

In addition to his parents and wife, Tony was preceded in death by his son, Jeffery “Bones” Ingram.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. C.W. Ball and staff, Dr. Ben Gardner and the loving care givers from Compassus Hospice and the wonderful nurses and techs at Life Care of Columbia.
