November 6, 1936 – January 18, 2025
at the age of 88 years:
Harold Shaffer Ingram passed away of respiratory illness January 18, 2025 in the Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC.
Harold is survived by his older sister Edna Stanyer, younger brother Keith Ingram (Joan), his 4 sons, Timothy (Debbie), Shawn, Darren and Brian Ingram, many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his father Irving, his mother Mrytle, brother Charlie, brother Neil, his first wife Betty and his second wife Gerda.
Harold enjoyed many years as a successful insurance salesman, and as a very good long-haul truck driver. He enjoyed talking about all of the places he visited and the interesting people he encountered along the way. After retiring from the trucking industry, Harold started a new career in the renovation business due to his love of carpentry.
Harold moved to Salmon Arm, BC from Edmonton, Alberta in 2015. He wanted to enjoy life and get back to what he loved most; farm life, working in his wood shop and long uninterrupted talks with everyone he met. Harold enjoyed a great conversation; the stories were endless.
Our hearts are broken, Harold will be missed terribly and loved forever.
Harold’s celebration of life will take place in Edmonton, Alberta in the coming months.
My big brother-in age, not size- lived a long life and did a lot. I have had a bunch of truckers phone and talk about their affection and regard for him. My wife and my extended family have shared their fond memories. To Tim, Deb, my nephews and Nadene: I’m sharing your sorrow.
I feel such a loss of my best friend and my love for Harold. I know , in my heart, you’re pain free, but I miss you, so much.
Rest in peace, my love. Nadene
In addition, 2 pups are missing you, too.
My sincere condolences to Tim (Debbie), Shawn, Darren, Brian, their respective families, grandchildren and great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
I didn’t know Harold for long but am happy my mom Nadene and Harold got to spend a few years together. My condolences to his family.
