WINSTON-SALEM - Carolyn Collins Ingle, 60, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of Friday, September 3, 2010, at the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home, following a recent battle with cancer. She was born August 5, 1950, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to the late General Ernest "Rainey" W. Collins, Jr. and the late Mary Louise "Bebe" W. Collins. She attended Salem College and Wake Forest University, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. She subsequently obtained her Physician's Assistant degree at Bowman Gray School of Medicine at Wake Forest University. She was one of the first practicing Physician Assistants, both in the state of North Carolina and the nation at large. She worked in the Emergency Department of Forsyth Memorial Hospital for over 30 years, and more recently worked at Prime Care Urgent Care/ Family Medicine and Novant Occupational Health. Carolyn touched the lives of so many people during her years of medical practice and was beloved by all who knew her. The love and compassion she gave her patients reflected the love of Christ she held in her heart. Carolyn had a remarkable capacity to balance her professional life with being a devoted wife and mother. She is survived by her husband of 28 years, George B. Ingle, Jr.; and two children, George "Chip" B. Ingle, III, and Meredith C. Ingle of the home. She is also survived by one brother and sister-in-law, Ernest W.
