by Juliet Greer
Star-Gazette
Wellsboro--When Betty West was young and dating, her mother used to tag along at square dances. It never bothered West.
‘She was part of the crowd,’ West said of her mother, helen B. Ingersoll. ‘She was a friend and a mother. She was the same way with my grandchildren.’
Helen B. Ingersoll, of 16 East Ave., Wellsboro, died Tuesday, Sept. 10, 1996, at the Green Home, Wellsboro. She was 92.
Mrs. Ingersoll was born and raised on a family farm near Pittsburgh. She was the oldest of seven children.
At the age of 18, Mrs. Ingersoll married Nelson A. Ingersoll. He died in November of 1994. After marrying, Mrs. Ingersoll had he only child, Betty, and was a homemaker.
‘She was the best cook in the whole world,’ said her grandson, Jim West of Wellsboro. ‘She made everything: pies, cakes, desserts, main courses. My favorites were butterscotch pie and sticky rolls.’
Family members said Mrs. Ingersoll was extremely outgoing, and enjoyed playing bingo two, three and even four nights a week in her younger days.
She liked to keep busy and especially enjoyed working with her hands, relatives said. Mrs. Ingersoll sewed, did needlepoint, kinitted afghans and crocheted.
She also had a real love for ceramics, and set up a ceramics shop in her cellar. She taught herself how to make things, did her own firings and poured clay into her own molds. Sh also gave lessons.
‘She was very pleasant and upbeat.’ her daughter said. ‘She like dancing, television, baseball. she was an all-around person; a great gal.’
In addition to her daughter, Betty West of Wellsboro, and her grandson, Jim West of Wellsboro, Mrs. Ingersoll is survived by her sister, Genevieve Headley of Wind Ridge, Pa.; grandchildren Susan DeSanto of Williamsport, Pa., Jacquelyne West of Wellsboro, Pa., F. Craig West of Wellsboro, Pa., James N. West of Wellsboro, Pa., Cynthia Carr of Wellsboro, Pa.,; eight great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.”179
