Charles Soule Ingwalson

Charles ('Chuck') Soule Ingwalson, 86, of Rio Verde, AZ and Edina, MN, passed away on August 21, 2023. Chuck was a happy man. That is who he was, and it showed in everything he did. Chuck was born on May 10, 1937, and was raised in Crosby, ND. He later moved to Chinook, MT and graduated from Chinook High School in 1955. He went on to earn a business and marketing degree from the University of North Dakota in 1959. It was at UND where he met his future wife, Mara (Aton) Ingwalson. After college, Chuck served in the US Army in Stuttgart, Germany. While there, he played basketball, travelled Europe, renewed his interest in reading and learned to snow ski, which became a life-long passion. Upon his return from Germany, he and Mara married in 1962 and lived in Minneapolis, raising their three children, David, John, and Anne. While maintaining a long and successful career in commercial real estate, Chuck was actively involved in the Edina community serving at Colonial Church, playing tennis at the Edina Country Club, and participating in men's Bible studies. Every Friday morning for over 40 years, Chuck would meet his men's Cursillo renewal group to share each other's joys and burdens and to pray for one another. This same group had annual men's ski retreats to Beaver Creek and as an avid skier, he rarely missed this trip over the years. When he retired, Chuck and Mara relocated to Rio Verde, AZ in 2001 and he spent time volunteering at the Community Church of the Verdes and Habitat for Humanity, taking on leadership roles at the Rio Verde CC while playing tennis and golf, and continuing with his men's Bible study. Chuck is remembered as a warm, friendly, and encouraging Christian man with a sincere and respectful presence. He was generous with his time to meet friends and family in need and always had a smile to share or kind word for everyone he met. He is survived by his wife, Mara; sons, David (Ann-Sofi) and John (Anne); daughter, Anne; six grandchildren, Emma, Alex, Alejo, Paige (Tobi), Nils, and Isabella; brother, Bill (Janet); half-sister, Mary Louise. Chuck is predeceased by his parents and his brother, Jim. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Habitat for Humanity, 18816 Four Peaks Blvd., Rio Verde AZ 85263. A memorial service for Chuck will be held on Friday, September 8, 2023, at 11:00 AM at Mt. Olivet Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, MN. Visitation begins at 10:00 AM. For those who are unable to attend in person, a livestream of the service will be available at: mtolivet.org/livestream
