Dolores "Dee" (Hernandez) Ingram

Dolores Ann Ingram, “Dee” as she was affectionately known, age 81 of Titusville, FL and formerly of Versailles, passed away on Friday, November 10, 2023 in Parrish Medical Center in Titusville.  Born August 25, 1942, in McKeesport, she was a daughter of the late Alexander and Mary (Kitas) Hernandez.  Dolores and her husband of 62 years, Richard “Chub” Ingram, were avid in the world of antiquing both buying and selling museum quality pieces and making connections and friendships in that world amongst fellow aficionados.  Dee loved to cook and share her favorite family recipes, passing them onto her children and grandchildren.  Dee and Chub were well known throughout Titusville for their ability to catch, cook and often share fresh brackish shrimp from the coast of Florida, often giving boxes to friends and family on a monthly basis. Her family will remember her as the designated “taxi driver” for them and their friends growing up, but more importantly as an amazing mother and grandma who, for the past 3 years, was her husband’s fulltime caregiver.  Besides Chub, she is survived by her children Douglas J. Ingram of Florida, Melanie J. (Andrew) Lucchino of Lawrence, Timothy P. (Victoria) Ingram of Fayetteville, NC, Natalie J. (Scott) Ranallo of Jefferson Hills, and C. Ingram; her grandchildren Maranda Nemeth, Isabella Lucchino, Dominic Ranallo, Angelina Lucchino, Alex Ingram, Dalaney Ranallo, and Bunny Ingram, L. Ingram, and Bradley Ingram; her siblings Daniel (Sandy) Hernandez, John (friend Barb Woods) Hernandez, Richard (Joanne) Hernandez, George “Chico” (Anita) Hernandez, and Olivia (Bill) Andrew; her brother-in-law Byron Xides; and also many nieces, nephews, and cousins.   Besides her parents, Dolores was preceded in death by her siblings Alexander (the late Bobbie) Hernandez, Rose Xides, Raymond (the late Rachel) Hernandez, and Isabelle (the late James) Tishko.  Friends will be received in the Daniel F. Bekavac Funeral Home and Crematory, Versailles, on Sunday, November 19, 2023, from 2 PM to 4 PM and 6 PM to 8 PM.
