Harriet Shofner Ingram

March 21, 1932 - February 27, 2020

Harriet Shofner Ingram, a long-time resident of Birmingham, AL died peacefully Thursday, February 26th at the UAB hospital. Born March 21, 1932 in Wartrace, TN, she loved the Lord and this love gave her the spirit of compassion to give to others throughout her entire life. At a young age she was an active member of The Rainbow Girls and was also a nursing assistant at St. Thomas Hospital beginning at the age of sixteen. Through the years she was often seen serving the homeless food and dressing as a clown for sick children. She managed a Hallmark card shop for ten years and enjoyed working as an administrative assistant at the UAB bookstore for over twenty-five years before retiring. After retirement, she was proud to serve as a volunteer at the UAB hospital for an additional twenty-five years, where she gave over thirty thousand hours of service. She would be remiss if we did not mention she was an avid Alabama football fan and watched every game from her favorite spot in the living room. Harriet is survived by three children: Michael (Julia), Deborah, and James (Katie) Ingram. She has six grandchildren: Brooks (Grant), Michael Jr., Sara, Michelle (Michael), Allie, Wes and Max. Harriet also loved her three great-grandchildren: Jeremy, Jaxson and Indie. She was laid to rest at Forest Crest Cemetery in Irondale, AL by Pastor Stephen Bischoff, Church of the Highlands on Saturday, February 29. Memorial donations may be made to Church of the Highlands, 47000 Highlands Way, Birmingham, AL 35210.
