Dr. Anne Gayle Ingram, 87, of Carrollton, GA died on May 20, 2011.
Dr. Anne Gayle Ingram was born in her home on the campus of the A&M School, April 26, 1924 in Carrollton, GA to Dr. Irvine Sullivan Ingram and Martha Monroe Ingram. Following her early school years in the city of Carrollton, Anne graduated from West Georgia Junior College and attended the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, graduating with a degree in Sociology. Dr. Ingram served with the Army signal Corp from 1944-45 in Washington, DC. She later earned an M.A. degree in Sociology from the University of Georgia, and her Ed.D. from Columbia University's Teacher's College. Following her work at Columbia University, Dr. Ingram completed post graduate work at the University of Oslo, Norway.
Dancing, teaching, and political work were to dominate both her time and her career.
After studying dance with the renowned dancer, Martha Graham, and serving as dance instructor at Louisiana Polytechnic Institute, Dr. Ingram returned to Carrollton and opened the dance studio, Dance Workshop. However, her love of dance would not become her career. Rather, her career was to be a college professor.
Dr. Ingram's teaching career spanned many years and several universities, including the University of Mississippi, Western Illinois University, and George Washington University. Her most cherished years in teaching were spent at the University of Maryland, where she retired as a Professor in 1988. During her tenure at the University of Maryland, Dr. Ingram authored many articles and maintained memberships in such professional organizations as, the American Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, the International Sociological Association, and the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport. In this same career, she was honored many times, with such awards as the Phi Epsilon Kappa Service Award and West Georgia College's Founders Award.
Like her love for dance and teaching, Dr. Ingram's political work began early in life and peeked during the second rise of the women's movement. A long time supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment and a tireless advocate for equality for women in sport, Dr. Ingram served on the University of Maryland's anti-discrimination committee and the Chancellor's Task Force for Women's Studies. As a member of the many communities in which she lived, she worked on issues of concern to women, and served the National Organization for Women as well as the West Georgia Rape Crisis Center.
In her spare time, Dr. Ingram was an avid traveler, having visited over 30 countries, and a community volunteer, serving the Carroll Historical Society, the Humane Society, and the McIntosh Reserve Advisory Board.
Dr. Ingram was preceded in death by her parents, and is survived by cousins, her friends, her many students, and her beloved cats. Indeed, she touched the lives of many and will be forever remembered as a woman who stood proudly and served admirably during even the most trying of times.
Survivors include, cousins, Ruth Simpson, Washington, D.C., Conley Ingram, Marietta, Jim Bonner, Decatur, and Suzanne Sewell, Charlotte, NC.
Funeral services will be Tuesday, May 24 at 2 P. M. from the chapel of Almon Funeral Home with Dr. Dean Milford and Dr. Beheruzn Sethna officiating.
Visitation will be Tuesday at Almon Funeral Home from 12:30 until the funeral hour.
