Connie Gay Ingraham, age 85 of Carson City, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, under the care of the Laurels of Carson City.

Connie was born on May 2, 1941 (one of a set of twins), to Carlton and Edna (Fillmore) Longwell. Connie married the love of her life, Thomas Ingraham, in October of 1960 and together they lived happily married until his passing in September of 2019, just shy of 59 years together.

Connie gave 38 years of her life to Carson City hospital working in the Dietary/Food Services Department, making it a better place just by her presence alone. She was a kind, sweet, and loving person who always wore a smile on her face. Those will be the things that Connie will be most remembered for.

Beyond the simple things in life that Connie enjoyed, including her love for flowers and bird watching, Connie loved to travel with her husband Tom. Some of their more memorable trips that they would often share memories from were Alaska, Hawaii, and Paris, France. Above all else, Connie cherished her time with loved ones, hosting holiday dinners and coffee on Tuesday afternoons. She genuinely looked forward to those good times with family and friends.

Connie is survived by her sisters Bonnie Carper and Patricia Smith, nieces Debi Kibbee, Brenda Taeter, Denise Smith, Linda Longwell, and Lisa Fontaine, nephews Brian Smith, Doug Smith, and Danny Smith, and many great-nieces and great-nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Tom Ingraham, brother Carl Longwell, sister-in-law Mary Ellen Longwell, brothers-in-law Len Carper and Lawrence Smith, and nephew Greg Longwell.

A service will be held on July 9, 2026, honoring Connie’s memory, at 2:00pm at the Lux & Schnepp Funeral Home in Carson City. Visitation will take place prior to the service starting at 12:30pm.

William Wright “Bill” Kemp, age 79, of Greenville, Michigan, passed away late Thursday evening, June 18, 2026 at his home under the loving care of his family and Corewell Health Hospice.

The son of Cass Wright & Bernice (Stevens) Kemp, he was born on February 16, 1947 in Greenville, Michigan, and was a 1965 graduate of Greenville Senior High School.

Following his honorable discharge, he eventually returned home to Greenville and the family business, Kemp Insurance Sure, serving as president at the time of his death. A longtime fixture in downtown Greenville, Bill could be found at breakfast, coffee, or lunch roundtables, had served on several City of Greenville commissions and boards over the years, and had volunteered on the chain gang for Greenville High School football games for over 30 years. He was a member of Sigma Theta and later in life enjoyed collecting and customizing pellet rifles, but found his greatest joy in time spent with his family.

On August 8, 1981, in Greenville, he married Deborah June “Debbie” Aylsworth and together they raised three children and enjoyed almost 37 years of marriage until Debbie passed away on February 9, 2018.

He was also preceded in death by his parents, Cass & Bernice Kemp; two brothers, Stanley S. Kemp and Cass C. Kemp; and his parents-in-law, Claude & Audrey Aylsworth.
