Where Caring Is A Family Tradition
Where Caring Is A Family Tradition
Clara (Rohr) Ingles, age 90, of Winchester, died Monday, May 4, 2020, at the home of her daughter, where she had been residing for the past three years. She was born February 8, 1930, in Milwaukee to the late Paul and Antonia Rohr. On November 3, 1951, she married Charles Ingles. Clara’s work career included the Concord Cheese Factory, Hansen’s Red Owl in Winchester, and Theda Clark Hospital, Neenah. After retiring from Theda Clark, she had clients she cleaned for many years. Clara also did some in home care giving. She was a long-time member of Grace Lutheran Church, Winchester, where she sang in the church choir and was involved in the sewing circle. Clara enjoyed playing cards, bingo, traveling and camping.
Clara is survived by a son and daughter, Tom (Trudy) Rohr, of Alabama; Helen (James) Christian, of Neenah; grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a great-great-grandchild, Charles Ingles (Kayla Lenz) and sons Hunter and Parker, Charlene (Jason) Womack, of Tennessee, and children Jozelen and Kobra, Derrick Ingles (Ashley DeRoo) and sons Dekota and Mason, Emma Ingles and son Landon, Theresa Rohr and daughter Stacy Greene, and great-great-granddaughter Abigail. She is also survived by a half-brother, Earl (Helen) Berndt; sisters-in-law, Donna Rohr and Emmi Rohr; nieces, nephews, and many special friends.
Along with her parents, Clara was also preceded in death by her husband, Charles Ingles in 1989; a son, Larry Ingles; brothers, Richard Rohr, Charles Rohr, and Bill (Carol) Berndt.
Clara was a kind and caring person, always having an ear to lend, although very quiet herself. But those were the times she grew up in. To know her was to love her. You will be dearly missed.
A private visitation will be held and a graveside service and burial will be held at Greenlawn Memorial Park, Neenah. Pastor Connie Bramlett will be officiating.
In lieu of flowers, memorials would be appreciated to Ruth’s Pantry in Winchester or Grace Lutheran Church, Winchester.

I want her family to know how much I cherished Clara as a patient over the years. She always lit up the exam room with her genuine smile; and her quiet presence spoke volumes of how strong her character was, shaped by her ethic of hard work and service. She truly personified the power of and the respect due for her humble nature and life. Rest in peace, Clara.

I remember when she scolded me for not covering my food in the microwave. I never did that again. She taught me everything I needed to know about housekeeping. She was the best housekeeper at Theda Clark and her mission was to make sure the patients always had a clean room. Clara was such a beautiful person. Rest in heaven.
