Posted By Haskett Funeral Homes On July 10, 2026 @ 5:27 PM In Exeter, Obituary | 87 Comments

INGRAM: Pauline Ethel (Rock) of Exeter

Passed away peacefully with family by her side on Tuesday, July 8, 2026, at the South Huron Hospital, in her 88th year. Beloved wife of the late Ray Ingram (1982) for 26 years. Cherished mother of Rick (Barbara) Ingram, Sandy (Pam) Ingram, Julie (Sam) Regier, Kathy (Dave) Delbridge. Loving grandma of Tanner (Meagan) Ingram, Ashley (Shawn) Ryan, Brent (Shea) Ingram, Tara Ingram, Jason (Sarah) Ingram, Tamar (Garrett) Gilbertson, Lindsay (John) Miners, Kristian (Clint) Milmine, Sammantha (Chris) Gorcyzca, Mitchell (Stacey) Regier, Jarrett Delbridge, and Raymond (Erin) Delbridge. Proud great-grandma of 19. Survived by her sister and sisters-in-law Maureen (Ron) Nigh, Donna Rock, Lynn Rock, and Marlene Ingram. Fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents, Enis and Ilene Rock, by her brothers Glen Rock and Hugh Rock, and by her in-laws Dave Ingram, Bill (Jan) Ingram, and Jean (Al) Crerar.

She will be lovingly remembered for her passion for gardening and the beautiful flowers she nurtured, her exceptional cooking, and the many meals she lovingly prepared for her family. Sundays were especially treasured, as they were often spent gathered around the table for family dinners, followed by an evening of cards. She also enjoyed playing cards with her friends at her apartment and never passed up an opportunity to play a game of bingo. Above all, she was devoted to her family and found her greatest joy in spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, creating memories they will cherish forever.

A private family service will be held. Interment will take place at Hensall Union Cemetery.

Memorial donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Jessica’s House would be greatly appreciated by the family.

My condolences to the Families!

Condolence from Kristin Milmine on July 10th, 2026 7:24 PM

To my Grandma,

You will be truly missed. You showed me what it means to be a strong woman and taught me never to take crap from anyone. Your greatest joy in life was your family, and that love was felt by everyone who knew you.

Some of my fondest memories are at the red brick house—swimming in the pool with my cousins, gathering around to enjoy your delicious food, and sharing so many laughs together. Those moments will always hold a special place in my heart.

I’ll always smile when I think about the days you made strawberry jam or dill pickles. The whole house would smell like sweet strawberries or garlic and vinegar—depending on what you were making! Those are memories I’ll cherish forever.

You also had such a love for peonies, roses and hummingbirds. Every time I see a peony in bloom, a smell of an English rose or a hummingbird stops by, I’ll think of you and smile, knowing a little piece of you is still with me.

Thank you for your love, your strength, and the beautiful memories you gave us. You will be deeply missed, but you will never be forgotten.

Love always,
Kricky

To All My Cousins,
We were so sorry to hear about Aunt Pauline. It doesnt matter how old we are, losing our mom is so hard. We had lots of great times as a family and I hope those memories help you guys through this. Dancing in the kitchen, with her spinning us around, asking why we couldn’t keep standing up, makes me smile. Her cooking was legendary, I use her carrot cake recipe (that came from Manitoulin Island, she told me) when I need something special to serve. Love you guys. Rest in Peace Aunt Pauline ❤️

Ricky, Sandy, Julie and Kathy. It really hurts to know that your mom is gone. My mom always let me know about her visits with Pauline. I truly regret not getting to Dashwood to visit her. I miss her voice already.. I know it’s hard on mom having lost her last sibling. Those two sisters had a great love for each other.
I miss those family gatherings we had on the farm with Grandpa and Grandma.
I pray that Jesus brings peace in your hearts my dear cousins.
Love Matthew

Condolence from Sam Regier on July 16th, 2026 12:19 PM

Just wanted to share some thoughts of my mother-in-law. It saddens me for our family loss, but enlightens me what Pauline left behind. I was lucky to marry Julie and got a great extended family came with it. Many family gatherings at the dinner table. Pauline and family had tragic loss in losing Ray many years ago. She said that the the three grandkids that were already on their way helped her get over the sudden loss some. I was always proud of her how she navigated through life having to make decisions on her own. Never complaining and just making the best of life. To Pauline, it was always about family first. That’s what sticks with me the most. It’s hard to balance work and family. Pauline helped balance the family part with her presence. Just the last Mother’s Day, Julie and our family were-all together. That’s what she liked. Just family gatherings around the dinner table. In our memory there will always be a place set for you at the table. Rest in peace.

Condolence from Peter Darbishire on July 16th, 2026 7:33 PM

Condolences to the Ingram family.
Always enjoyed brief encounters with Polly (and with Ray so long ago).
