Obituary

Cedric Ingram was born on April 20, 1944, in Gimme-Me-Bit in the parish of
Clarendon, Jamaica, son of the late Eric Brown and Edna Boothe. He attended Basic

school, then all-age school in Yorktown, and later transferred to Gimme-Me-Bit all-age to complete his formal education. At age 15, Cedric worked with his dad in construction at Vernamfield. He then went on to work for the Agricultural Development Corporation as a Tractor Operator. He was also a farmer.

Cedric met Nurlene in 1970 and they immediately fell in love. The two wed and had four children: Georgia (Nicky), Tanya (Vicky), Temi, and Shawn (Oran); and an adopted son, Durrant (Fatman).

In 1992, Cedric and his family moved to Amityville, NY, where he was employed in Medical Waste Management at Stein & Giannott of West Babylon, then Stericyle of Farmingdale. In 2009, at age 65, Cedric retired.

Cedric was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather, first and foremost. He treasured his wife, children, and grandchildren, and embraced every moment with them. Though a man of few words, Cedric had a magnetic personality, effortlessly attracting lasting friends and loved ones everywhere he went, all of whom will sorely miss him.

Cedric Ingram departed this life on Tuesday, August 4, 2020, at 1:44 pm, in his home surrounded by his wife, children, and grandchildren. He was predeceased by his Father (Eric), Mother (Edna), Brothers (Leroy and Hersman).

He leaves to cherish his memory: his wife, Nurlene Ingram; his daughters, Georgia, Tanya, Temi; his sons (Shawn and Durrant); his grandchildren, Damonique, Tiandra, Teajah, Daunte, Mark, Harthon, Romaine, Tquan, Darnel, Shaun, Arya, and Zara; his great-granddaughter, Kahlia; his maternal siblings, Pamella, Verell, Exdol, Roy, Lopez, and Dervan; his paternal siblings, Judy, Arlene, Joy, and Herty; Oliver, Daveton, Dave, Eric Jr. and Michael.
