Wayne L. Ingram
Wayne L. Ingram, age 83, of Shelby, passed away peacefully and unexpectedly in his sleep on Sunday, December 31, 2023 at his home.
Wayne was born June 25, 1940 in Shelby to the late G. Ray and Eileen (Henry) Ingram. A 1958 graduate of Shelby High School, Wayne then attended The Ohio State University.

His 30-year career was spent at Shelby Salesbook Company from where he retired in 2003 under the Miami Systems ownership.

As a 60-year member of Shelby Country Club, he was club champion many times over and celebrated 12 holes in one throughout his life. For 11 years, he and his wife, Barb, enjoyed winters in Palm Beach Garden, Florida. He was a member of First United Methodist Church in Shelby.

He enjoyed visiting and playing with his 6 great grandchildren: Emmalyn, Caden, Barrett, Blaine, Olivia, and Kane. Also surviving are his siblings: Cindy (Howard) Gordon, Stan (Darlene) Ingram, Bonnie Hall, Gloria Turner, and Kathy (Bill) Morton; and numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. In addition to his parents his was also preceded in death by his step-mother: Barbara Moon Ingram.

Barb & boys, I am so sorry to hear about Wayne’s passing. He was a good man. I will never forget the time’s at the club on caddy day when Wayne was the pro, DL Stima was Mgr., Bobby Miller and I would go out and play nine holes.

Wayne Ingram was a name synonymous with Shelby Country Club. I have a picture from the 1950s of Wayne, my dad and brother at the club. I truly enjoyed seeing Wayne at the course when I starting playing golf again. He will be missed.
