Vondel Smith Mortuary at South Lakes
Virgil E. Ingraham passed from earth after a full happy 81 years of life. He was born March 11, 1936 in Oklahoma City to Claude and Florence Ingraham.

Saint Mary’s Catholic High School, where his major was giving the sisters a hard time. He carried this tradition through the rest of his. Handyman by trade, he worked in his dad’s business Ingraham Electric Repair shop prior to entering the United States Air Force on November 12, 1956.
