It is with heavy hearts to share that Rotarian Encarnacion “Coni” Ingram passed away at her home last Tuesday, Aug. 9, at the age of 55. Coni had been a member of our club since June 2018 and was involved in a number of club service projects in five years with us.

Encarnacion “Coni” I. Ingram was born October 22, 1966, in Portland, Oregon, the daughter of the late Jose Fernandez and mother Jackie. She was raised and received her education in Portland, having been a graduate of St. Mary of the Valley Catholic School in Beaverton, Class of 1984.

She had owned and operated Wickham Adult Foster Care Home in Forest Grove for ten years. Coni was a member of the Forest Grove Rotary Club.

Among her special interests, she enjoyed traveling and horseback riding, especially caring for her horses, Overe and Milo. Hunting, dancing, and her relationship with Christ and her family were the most important things to her. She did a lot of charity work and touched many lives with her caring and generous spirit.

She was preceded in death by her father, Jose Fernandez and her brother, Jose Fernandez.

Survivors include her mother, Jackie Fernandez, of Lincoln City, Oregon; her three sons and a daughter-in-law, William Dyer, of Forest Grove, Oregon; Rick and Justine Dyer, of Sparks, Nevada, and Joe Dyer, of Banks, Oregon. Her two daughters, Katherine Dyer, of Riverside, California and Maggie Ingram, of Vancouver, Washington and her three sisters. Also surviving are her three grandchildren, Lucas Dyer, of Banks, Oregon; Gabriella Dyer, of Dallas, Oregon and Camden Dyer, of Sparks, Nevada and several nieces, nephews and many close friends whom she cherished.

The family suggests that remembrances may be contributions to the Love Rocks foundation at P.O. Box 283, Forest Grove, Oregon 97116, alovedrenchedlife@gmail.com, in her memory.
