Debra Barnhart Ingram

Debra Lynne Barnhart Ingram went to her heavenly home on June 24, 2017, after a gallant battle with cancer. Debra was born in Jacksonville, Florida and was a resident of Baton Rouge. She was a sweet, precious soul and a virtuous woman who cared more for others than for herself. She loved the Lord. Debra was a wonderful wife and mother who found great joy in raising her large family. Debra truly loved every moment of the grandma daycare that she provided. She was an extremely creative and artistic person that through the years dabbled in painting and other crafts. Quilting later became her passion. True to her nature, she used her quilting skills to provide treasures for others in her network of care. In her younger years, besides being a loving wife and mother, Deb worked as an administrative assistant for The LSU School of Forestry. She also was a Center Supervisor for BREC; retiring in 2008 after 15 years of service. Debbie loved her LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints, and greatly enjoyed hosting family while watching the games.

Barnhart; her son, Jonathan Michael Ingram; her grandson, Cohen Todd Ingram; sister-in-law, Shannon Charlotte Ingram and mother-in-law, Charlotte Williams Ingram and father-in-law, Drury S. Ingram.
