Life's journey for our beloved Ray Charles Ingram began on January 2, 1954.  He was born to the late Mr. German Stokling and the late Mrs. Lucille Ingram West in Dooly County, Georgia.

He was educated in the public school system where he attended the Unadilla Elementary School.  The teachings of Christ's love were taught to him at the Brown Chapel Baptist Church.

Ray was a loving father and grandfather.  He loved working on cars and trucks.  After retiring from mechanic work, he became the town taxi driver.  A job he loved and a job that allowed him to be a jaw jacking friend to everyone he knew.  Everyone he knew, could easily be described as everyone he came in contact with, because he never met a stranger.

On Sunday, January 2, 2022, his 68th birthday, our beloved transitioned from this life to life eternal.  Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his son, Mr. Brandon L. Fudge and his brother, Mr. Danny West.
