Carolyn Collins Ingle

Carolyn Collins Ingle, 60, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of Friday, September 3rd , at the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home, following a recent battle with cancer. She was born August 5th, 1950, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to the late General Ernest ""Rainey"" W. Collins, Jr. and the late Mary Louise ""Bebe"" W. Collins. She attended Salem College and Wake Forest University, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. She subsequently obtained her Physician's Assistant degree at Bowman Gray School of medicine at Wake Forest University. She was one of the first practicing Physician Assistants both in the state of North Carolina and the nation at large. She worked in the Emergency Department of Forsyth Memorial Hospital for over 30 years, and more recently worked at Prime Care Urgent Care/ Family Medicine and Novant Occupational Health. Carolyn touched the lives of so many people during her years of medical practice and was beloved by all who knew her. The love and compassion she gave her patients reflected the love of Christ she held in her heart. Carolyn had a remarkable capacity to balance her professional life with being a devoted wife and mother. She is survived by her husband of 28 years, George B. Ingle, Jr., and two children, George ""Chip"" B. Ingle, III, and Meredith C. Ingle of the home. She is also survived by one brother and sister in law, Ernest W. Collins, III and Debbie Collins, and two nieces, Katie C. Brown and Laura C. Lee of Alabama. It would be impossible to individually thank everyone who has responded to Carolyn and her family in their hour of need as the number has truly been staggering. However, special appreciating to Drs Gene Paschold, Wm Brown, Volker Stieber, friend Eric Melvin, the staff at Forsyth Hospital Regional Cancer Center and the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home, as well as Dr Crawford at Duke University Medical Center. Special appreciation also to the Iannuzzi family and Carolyn's many friends, who constantly attended to her spiritual and emotional needs, including her coworkers at Prime Care and Novant Occupational Health. Thanks to all of the care and compassion from George's friends and colleagues during Carolyn's illness- the Physicians and Physician Assistants at Forsyth Emergency Services and the Emergency Department staff at Forsyth Medical Center. A special thank you to our Forsyth Country day School family, especially Dean of students Chris Turner, who has enveloped Meredith in an unparalleled supportive and nurturing environment. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice of Palliative Care Center, 101 Hospice Lane, Winston-Salem, NC 27103. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, September 7th , at Hayworth-Miller Funeral Home, 3315 Silas Creek Pkwy, Winston-Salem, NC 27103 with visitation at 6pm, and a memorial service celebrating her life at 7pm.
