Lewis Ray Ingerson, 82, of Lawson, Missouri passed away on December 3, 2022 at home. Visitation will be held at 10AM, December 9, 2022 at Hidden Valley Funeral Home of Lawson. Funeral services will be held at 11AM, Friday December 9, 2022 at Hidden Valley Funeral Home with a graveside service to follow at Ingerson Cemetery, 10563 SE 226th St. Lawson, Missouri. Mr. Ingerson was born on August 22, 1940 in Mansfield, Missouri.
Lewis was the second child of 9 children born and raised in Mansfield, Missouri. Lewis started working at a young age for Almanzo Wilder building stone fence posts. He only attended school through the 8th grade, but easily passed his GED and college entrance exams from School of the Ozarks. In 1960, Lewis married the love of his life, Rosemary Lister, and about a week later shipped out in the Army. As a veteran and member of the 101st Airborne, Lewis fought in two wars, the Vietnam War and the Korean War. He loved being a paratrooper.
Lewis was an active member of the local Masonic Lodge and enjoyed the time he spent with his fellow brethren. He took great pride in his accomplishments and in all he did. He expected only the best of himself and expected the same of others. Lewis was highly ethical, honest and responsible. He loved his family and would help you if you got in a bind. Lewis believed in God, but attended no church. He preferred to commune with God in his own way. He loved deer hunting, fishing, gardening, and riding his tractor.
Now, he was no saint and he could be very intimidating at times. His military side would emerge and bark orders or he might refuse to admit he made a mistake. He could hold a grudge for a very long time. His mischievous side could get him into trouble, but usually his charm righted the problem. Although there were some difficult times we still loved him and you knew he loved you or at the least tolerated you. Lewis played pranks, told jokes, played cards, watched westerns and always loved reading a good book.
He was preceded in death by his father Archie Ingerson, mother Mary Ellen Sanderson; brothers, Theodore Ingerson, Michael Ingerson and grandson Shane O'Neal Ingerson.
