Colleen Gaye Fox (Ingram), age 71, of Beverly, Kansas, passed away on July 29, 2026.

She was born on February 21, 1955, in Salina, Kansas, to the late Charley Wilber Ingram and Faye Elizabeth Hardesty. Colleen was a remarkably hard worker who wore many hats throughout her life; from acting as a dedicated caregiver for family members to working out in the fields, she truly did it all. An avid crocheter who found great joy in the beauty of nature, she loved spending time outdoors, gardening, and caring for her beloved pets.

She is survived by her loving children: Gordon M. Boyer III; Shonita Swank and her husband Tyler; Synthia Boyer and her wife Chelsea; and Sarah Marshall and her husband Dennis. She is also survived by the grandson she loved and raised as her own son, Sage G. Boyer; her cherished grandchildren, Michael, Dean, Grace, Lukas, Dominic, Dionte, and Whitley; her adored great-grandchildren, Xander, Kyler, and Emitt; her brothers, Charles W. Ingram and Clinton C. Ingram; her sister, Cheryl D. Plunkett; and her six nieces and two nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Larry A. Fox; her sisters, Carolyn S. Johnson and Charlotte F. Ingram; her precious grandson, Trent; and her nephew.

Cremation has taken place, and a celebration of life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a local animal shelter or nature conservation organization of your choice in Colleen's name.
