Marya "Nell" Harriett Kesler Ingram

Marya Harriett (Nell) Kesler Ingram passed away August 6, 2011 in Nephi, Utah.



Nell was born in Fillmore, Utah on June 11, 1922 to William H. and Sarah Losee Kesler. She was the youngest and last surviving member of a large family of twelve children. Her growing up years were spent in Fillmore and Cove Fort. Her family owned Cove Fort and had a farm there. She always enjoyed the love and attention of a large family, including many nieces and nephews close to her age.



Nell moved to Nephi to work for the local telephone company. There she met the love of her life and eternal companion Don Wilkey Ingram. They were married March 16, 1946 at Fillmore, Utah. Their marriage was sealed for eternity on January 18, 1963 in the Manti Temple. They made their home in Nephi and raised their five children there. However, because Dad was in the sheep business, their summers were spent in the mountains near Soldier Summit. Many happy memories were made there with family and friends. After retirement, Nell and Don enjoyed activities with the Senior Citizens. Nell had a strong testimony and was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints. She served in many church callings throughout her life, including Relief Society, Temple Worker and Primary. Dad past away January 27, 1991 and Mom never stopped missing him; he was her best friend.



Mother's last years were spent at Heritage Hills Nursing Home, where she made an effort to know each of the workers she came in contact with. There she was cared for by a kind and loving staff. We would like to thank each of them for all that they did to make her comfortable as her health declined.



She is survived by her five children: Sue (Lynn) Barnes, Cindy (Jerry) Stephensen, Donna (Lynn) Lesh, Blake (Robyn) Ingram and Sarah (Randy) Molyneaux. Sisters-In-Laws, Nadine (Dick) Ingram and Carol (Grant) Kesler. Also surviving are 29 grandchildren, 48 great grandchildren and one great-great grandson. Preceded in death by her husband, parents, brothers and sisters, three granddaughters, one grandson and one great grandson, Monica Molyneaux, Chelsea Molyneaux, Calista Fowkes, Gordon Jenkins and Cutler Luker.
