BRIGHTON — Judy A. Ingram, 72, passed away at 9:47 a.m. at Alton Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, May 20, after a brief illness.
She was born in Alton on August 9, 1942, one of four sisters born to the late Russell and Emilie (Rothacher) Logan. She married Dr. James R. Ingram, now deceased, on Dec. 9, 1966, at First Presbyterian Church in Alton.

She later worked at Saint Anthony's on 2 South and as a school nurse in the Alton School District.
She will be remembered as a spunky, loving, fiery, beautiful, caring, Mother, Grandmother and Friend to all that knew her. She went the extra mile for those in need. Her greatest love was her four granddaughters. Trips, games, events and sleepovers were at the top of her to do list. She will be missed by all.

Yeah. What Adrian said. Judy was in my class from the beginning. We used to go out to her family's dairy store to buy our milk, and we would always get some ice cream when we did that. A very quiet, gentle girl, as I remember. Nice to everyone.
"One by one as they march, our comrades vanish from our sight..." as a famous person once wrote. We've been marching a long time at this point, but the sad news this year seems to be coming thicker and faster than before.

Judy and I were never formaly boyfriend- girlfriend , but I went to a couple dance parties with her and we usually sat together at class assemblys. We remained good friends through the years and my wife took care of her son Rusty for a while when Judy needed her so she could work. I was staggered to hear the news, I knew she missed the last two reunion meetings , but did not think things were that serious. She will be missed by all who knew her. Remember the Days of Logans Redbird drive in as well as all the other pleasant memories of Judy and her family, I will always remember her.

Judy and I were next door neighbors. We knew eachother for over 72 years. We always remembered each other's birthdays, and acted like siblings, teasing etc.. We did go out once, always felt comfortable, until we started home. Pulled into her driveway, mine too, and went very uncomfortably to the front door. Both remarked it felt very strange to go into their house this way. At the door, we kissed! Parted and looked at each other and laughed at the same time!! Brother and sister to the end. I got to be with her in January when I came home for a weekend. Just an hour, but as usual a good time, No mention of health problems then, she just talked about Rusty and Chad, and her grandchildren. Glad we spent time together. A very big loss for me, and I'm sure others. God Bless Judy and her family.

I first heard this sad news of Judy's passing, from Adrian White, via Facebook and then saw the Obituary for Judy posted by Myrna Kimbro Heart, If you haven't seen the obituary, I hope that you will read it when you have the opportunity. It really speaks to a well-lived life.
Judy and I were casual friends through high school, but talked several times through the years, about the reunions ad the then the passing of our mutual friend, Charlie Wall.. They'd been close friends. I told my wife about Judy last evening, describing her as one of the most authentic people I've ever known. She gave much of herself and her time, to family and friends. However we may have known her, we are better for it. She will be missed by all.

I am so saddened to learn of Judy's passing. We were friends as children and our mothers, along with Bill Kodros's mother, were in a bridge club together. We children shared lots of playtime together and many fun swimming parties during the summer. Those were great days.I have fond memories of time spent with her during reunions. She will be truly missed in Oct. at the 55th. My sympathy and prayers to her family.

So very sorry to hear of Judy's passing. Just called Myra Ingram Tuttlle (her sister-in-law) to express my sympathy. One of my memories was that we were a couple of 3 Judys known in English Lit. as Judy 1, 2, and 3. So long ago, but much too early to leave us. My condolances to all of her family.
Judy Hershey (Melly)
So sad to learn of Judy's death. As many of you remember, in our grade school class all the way through there were three Judys: Judy Logan, Judy Boyd, and Judy Hershey. After I left high school, I rarely met another Judy. Judy Logan was a very special person. She had a terrific career and family. She is and will be sorely missed by her family, friends, and classmates.

I'm not going to lie, I have lost a very good friend. Judy and I would joke that we shared the same baby crib because like my cousin, Bill Kodros, said we all thought we were family. She was one in a million and will miss her. She was so proud of her boys, wives, and her 4 precious granddaughters. She went from music competitions to Khoury League ball games, to taking all 4 girls and spending a day in St Louis. They loved being with grandma. We all can say that we are lucky she touched our lives and I hope the great memories of her will never leave. If you get a Chance listen to the song Dancing In The Sky by Dani and Lizzi. I happened to hear it the day Judy died and I cried. It's a beautiful song. Bless you Judy.

Judy and I had reconnected about a year ago and had lunch and went shopping for the first time in a long time. We were planning to do it again: however I guess we'll have to do that when we meet again in heaven. Amy Jo Powers O'Neill

Judy and I were very close friends during our days at East Jr. I remember many great times going to her house especially in the summer when we would go swimming. Her house was like the" in place "to be and I have many great memories from there. Always enjoyed Bill Kodros coming over with all his friends.Judy was always the nicest and kindest person .I know she will be sorely missed. Needless to say ,I am very sad to hear of her passing.
