Albert "Red" Ingerick

Albert “Red” Ingerick, 96, passed away peacefully after a brief illness to join the love of his life on October 12, 2024. Red was born on July 9, 1928 in Waverly, NY to the late Cecil and Edna Geroy Ingerick. The oldest of 3 children, Red and his sisters (Beverly and Margaret) would enjoy time together on ‘the farm’ in Wysox, PA doing daily chores and enjoying life. Red attended school in Towanda where he played football, basketball and baseball. He later joined the Wysox Owls, a baseball team coached by his Dad. He adored reminiscing about his days on the field and was proud to be the last surviving member of that team. He also played softball in Monroeton, enjoying the camaraderie with his teammates and looking forward to a big hit. In 1946, on New Year’s Eve, Red met the former Marian Maryott at the movie theater and the rest is history. They eventually married on September 13, 1948 at Marian's family home in Monroeton. Red and Marian were married for 70 1/2 years prior to Marian’s passing on March 14th, 2019. Their 70+ years together was a cherished milestone. With the date of his wedding set, Red was eager to gain employment and accepted a job at Claverack. He was extremely proud of his 41 years of service there. He began as a lineman and worked his way up to Electric Operations Manager, a job he held until his retirement in March of 1989. He was well-respected and admired by his co-workers, many of which remained lifelong friends. Red and Marian spent many summers at their cottage on Keuka Lake with an abundance of friends and family. They spent the winter months in Florida where Red found joy browsing flea markets for a good deal, playing golf and card games with friends. Red and Marian took several cruises, bus trips and traveled to make the best memories Red never met a stranger. If left alone for a few minutes, he’d strike up a conversation with any random person. Within minutes, Red would know their life story. He was always interested in where people were from, what they did for a living, where they worked, and who they were related to. He loved talking to people and was genuinely interested in their story. Red was easygoing, perpetually positive, and rarely got upset. He always wore a smile, had kind words to say about everyone, and seldom complained. His pant pockets were always full of all the necessities. He was known to carry a roll of black electrical tape, a jack knife, tape measure, chapstick, and handkerchief in addition to the grocery bag he kept folded in his back pocket. His shirt pocket always held a secret stash of candy corn he kept for the great-grandkids. Those little hands were constantly digging in his pockets, just the way he wanted it. He was clever and could figure out how to MacGuyver most anything. Among his many talents, you could often find him playing his harmonica, wearing a big sombrero, fishing, piddling around, or mowing his lawn on his beloved riding lawn mower. He was a huge fan of sporting events and especially enjoyed watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren play. Red was a jokester through and through. He loved playing pranks and accumulated quite the collection of trick items over the years. His most amusing items were a trick spoon with a hinge on the end and a coffee mug with a cockroach on the bottom. He got such a kick out of making people laugh. Red is survived by his daughters, Kay Robinson of Michigan; Betty Moore and late husband, Glenn with whom he resided in South Carolina; granddaughters, Heather Schuepbach of Egypt; Trisha Roberts and husband Nathan of South Carolina; Tiffany Coveney and husband Charles of South Carolina; great- granddaughters, Lillya and Laylani Schuepbach and Molly and Carly Coveney; a great-grandson, Murphy Roberts; sisters Beverly Beers and Margaret Gordon, as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to his parents, Red was preceded in death by his wife, Marian Ingerick, brother-in-laws George Gordon, Wilbur Beers, William “Bill” Williams, William “Bill” Maryott, Clayton Maryott, Mac McCleary; sister-in-laws Ellen Maryott, Marie Williams, Dorothy “Doey” McCleary, Evey Maryott, Jane Maryott. The family will receive friends Monday, October 21, 2024 from 4-6 p.m. at the Maryott-Bowen Funeral Home, 217 York Avenue, Towanda, PA. A funeral service will be held Tuesday, October 22, 2024 at 1 p.m. at the funeral home with Reverend Robert W. Martin officiating. Interment will follow in Bradford County Memorial Park, Burlington Township, PA. The family invites friends and family for a reception following the burial at the Wysox Fire Hall.
