Reverend Canon William Eric Ingraham
1929-2017
Reverend Canon William Eric Ingraham, BA, LTh, BDiv passed
away peacefully on December 7, 2017 at St. Vincent’s Nursing
Home in Halifax at the age of 88. He was born in Calgary, AB on July
2, 1929, son of the late Frances Jane (Lewis) and David Roy Ingraham.
Following his education in Louisburg and Sydney, he accepted a calling
to the Christian ministry, training at the University of
King’s College and Atlantic School of Theology in Halifax.
He served in Anglican parishes in Glace Bay (NS), Kensington (PEI),
Halifax, Yarmouth, Bridgewater, and Truro (NS), finally returning to
Summerside (PEI) before his retirement to the beautiful shores of Sea
View (PEI) in 1993. For the last four years of his life, Eric resided
at Drumlin Hills, Bridgewater, NS and, latterly, at St.
Vincent’s.
He believed that his most important contributions to parish
ministry were in areas of visitation, youth, ecumenical fellowship,
and focus on financial stability and
stewardship.
Eric’s family and ministry were his life; to the
end of his days, these provided him with profound comfort and joy.
Eric met his wife Dorothy Jean (Murphy) in 1955 in Sea View, PEI and
they were married in 1956. They are survived by their three daughters
and their families: Myrtle Jane and Mark Burton (Bridgewater, NS),
Elizabeth and Wayne Tumblin (Bridgewater, NS), Mary Ingraham and David
Owen (Edmonton, AB and Gabriola, BC). He delighted also in his
grandchildren: Laura (Ian Whynacht), Colin (Sheri) Burton, Sarah
(Devon Guile), Ben (Lindsay) Tumblin, Emily Tumblin (Wyatt Garrioch);
and great-grandchildren Callum and Cadence Whynacht, Addison and Owen
Tumblin, Elliot Burton, and Ophelia Guile.
