Carol Marge Ingersoll

CUYAHOGA FALLS - Carol Marge Ingersoll (nee Cimino), 94, died peacefully with family, on July 11, 2022, in Akron, Ohio.

Carol was born on December 19, 1927, in New Haven, Connecticut, and moved to Cuyahoga Falls in 1959, where she resided until her passing. Her parents immigrated to New Haven from Italy, and Carol was very proud of her Italian heritage.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Clemente and Anna Cimino, her husband Jack Ingersoll, daughter Michele Simone (Ron), and Carol’s three siblings Ralph, Rosemary, and Ann. Carol is survived by her beloved daughter and son-in-law, Debi and Patrick Kelly, of Cuyahoga Falls; granddaughters Chelsea (fiancé Steven Katz) and Shannon Kelly, both of Columbus, and many nieces and nephews. 

Carol was a dedicated and loving wife to Jack. They met in the early 1950s while Jack served in the US Navy and was stationed in Connecticut. After his service, they settled in the Cuyahoga Falls area where they raised their two daughters. They loved their dogs (Ginger, and beagles Penny and Sam), gardens, and were avid travelers, especially traveling with their daughter Debi, and visiting their daughter Michele in San Francisco. Carol was a huge sports fan, and her favorite teams were the Cleveland Guardians, Browns, and Ohio State Buckeyes. In her past times, Carol also enjoyed reading, cooking, and loved sitting in her sunroom watching the birds. But her favorite times were with her family, and watching and spending time with her granddaughters, whom she adored. She had a great sense of humor and was loved by many. She will be greatly missed. Special thanks to Paige Henline and the staff at Maplewood Assistant Living, Akron Summa Hospital, and her dear friend Diane Ficht.  

Carol was cherished by many, especially her family. May she find peace and comfort in Heaven.  

The family will celebrate Carol’s life in a private service at the Clifford-Shoemaker Funeral Home, 1930 Front St., Cuyahoga Falls. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Humane Society of Summit County, 7996 Darrow Rd., Twinsburg, Ohio 44087. Carol’s final resting place will be at Chestnut Hill Memorial Park Cemetery, with her husband Jack, and daughter Michele.
