of florida
in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of a truly remarkable individual, Susie Law Ingram, a woman of unwavering faith and dedication to her community. I include in the Record the following proclamation:
Whereas, Susie Law Ingram was born in Georgia on March 3,
1954, to the late Emmett and Gussie Law. She was the youngest
of nine children; and
Whereas, at a young age, Susie and her family relocated to
Miami, Florida. She was a product of the Dade County Public
School system, attending Miami Jackson High School. It was at
Miami Jackson where she met the love of her life, Mr. Richard
Ingram. Shortly after graduating, the two were wed at the
young age of 17 and 18. To this union, four boys were born:
Richard D., Fedrick, Randy and Zach; and
Whereas, Mrs. Ingram had a true love for the arts. While in
high school, she was part of the drama club and the choir.
She was also a member of the poetry club which led to the
composition of short stories, plays and ultimately the
publication of her book “God Lives Here, Too.”; and
Whereas, inspired by her sons Fedrick and Randy, Mrs.
Ingram went on to finish her high school diploma and obtain a
degree in elementary education, in her 50's, from Miami Dade
College; and
Whereas, she was a devout Christian and an advocate for
social activism, Mrs. Ingram participated in events on local,
state, and national levels to promote voter registration,
advancing black people, and education. Later in life, Mrs.
Ingram and her husband worked together in the private nursing
industry. Ultimately, they transitioned into transportation
becoming bus drivers and members of the Transport Workers
Union; and
Whereas, Mrs. Ingram leaves behind a loving family,
including her devoted husband Richard; her four sons, Richard
D. (Lynette), Fedrick, Randy (Jamila) and Zach; 10
grandchildren, Dannielle, Niliyah, Elan, Erin, Jaliyah,
D'Quan, Randy, Jr., Duane, Jr., Jordan, and Jaren; 2 sisters,
Emma Law and Lowrine Jenkins; 2 brothers, Emmit, Jr. and
Johnnie. She also leaves a host of nieces, nephews,
relatives, friends, and church members, all of whom will
forever cherish her memory; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a member of the United States House of Representatives
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida, am
honored to recognize the late Susie Ingram, and extend my
heartfelt sympathy.
