Pugh Funeral Home

Pugh Funeral Home Pugh Funeral Home is a full service, funeral home and crematory serving Asheboro, Randleman, Troy, a Pugh Funeral Home can trace its roots back to 1857.

The Pugh Funeral Home page is written to help families and friends learn about our history, people, and services. Emory Kearns, a well-known Randolph County citizen, sold coffins and officiated at funerals as a sideline to his furniture store. An associate of Kearns, O.R. Fox, took over both businesses in 1885. Fox's son-in-law, Jess T. Pugh, joined the firm in 1921 and later purchased it in 1927. In 1932 Jess Pugh separated the funeral home from the furniture business and officially established Pugh Funeral Home. The Randleman facility was established in 1938 and the Pugh-Troy Funeral Home was purchased in 1967 from Mr. Gene Reynolds. In 1984, the Pugh's moved their Asheboro facility into a newly constructed home at 437 Sunset Avenue. By 1993, the Pugh's had established Randolph County's first crematory- Central Carolina Crematory. In early 1999 Asheboro Florist and Interiors was purchased by the Pugh's in order to offer convenience and availability to families selecting funeral flowers. In 1999, the Buckner Family of Siler City approached the Pugh's regarding the purchase of their family's funeral home. Later that year Smith & Buckner Funeral Home of Siler City, North Carolina joined the Pugh family firms. In 2001, New Hope Memorial Gardens opened. This 42 acre site is becoming one of the premier cemeteries in the area. The initial 3 acres offer over 2800 interment spaces in a beautifully landscaped haven. In spring of 2017 the Pugh's were pleased to add Phillips Funeral Home in Star to the Pugh Funeral Home Family. Throughout the years, the firm has remained family owned and operated. Jess Pugh's son, J.T. "Jack" Pugh, became President of the company in 1953. Today, the reigns of leadership are in the hands of two of his sons: Mac and Ed Pugh.

Jesse Parks Ingold

Jesse Parks Ingold of Asheboro died March 10, 2026, holding the hands of loved ones. He was 89.

Born August 12, 1936, in Randolph County, North Carolina, Jesse was the youngest of six children to Oakwell Ingold and Eva Mae Ingold.

Jesse lived a life devoted to his family. He was a loving husband, a caring father, and a proud “Number One Paw.” He retired from Energizer Battery in 1994 after serving in the Army and he was a member of Cross Road Baptist Church.

He was a spirited fisherman, a mechanic extraordinaire, and an all-time wheeler and dealer. His heart was full of compassion. There are many accounts of him stopping at car accidents, providing medical care or simply holding hands with the victims. He was always there for people in need and had a heart for ones not always noticed. Those who knew him will remember his stories and the telltale twinkle in his eyes.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Linda Saunders Ingold; his daughters, Holli Lanier and Sandi Brown; his brothers, Russell Ingold, Leonard Ingold, and Jimmy Ingold; and his sister, Martha Peele.

Those left to cherish his memory include his daughter, Sherri Floyd; his sons-in-law, Marty Floyd, Richard Brown, and Bruce Lanier; his grandchildren, Wesley Floyd, Stewart Floyd, Allison Cain, Tyler Brown, Andrew Brown, and Maggi Floyd; and his great-grandchildren, Josie Floyd, Holleigh Floyd, Jesse Floyd, and Amelia Floyd; and his sister, Donsy Hames.

His family will celebrate his life with a graveside service at Oaklawn Cemetery in Asheboro at 2:00 pm on Saturday, March 14.

In lieu of flowers, kindly consider donating to Cross Road Baptist Church.

He fought the good fight and he finished the race.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

We love you the mostest.

Pugh Funeral Home in Asheboro is proud to serve the Ingold family.

Mary grew up in Piney Woods Friends Meeting, one of the oldest Quaker meetings in NC. She remained a steadfast member of the Quaker faith and organization her entire life. Her husband, Thomas, was a Quaker pastor from 1956 till his passing and the family lived in several communities in NC as Thomas and she served. While the family lived at Concord Friends Mary served as the secretary for NCYM working for Seth Hinshaw. Mary was always involved as a pastors' wife serving in many capacities from Sunday school teacher, missionary circle member, youth leader and choir member. During her time as a pastors' wife and raising her children she began taking classes at Campbell University. Later she attended Guilford College.

Mary was always about doing for others. She desired and strived to foster the good faith in those around her and encouraged her fellow man to do good works. She didn't meet many strangers as she was outgoing and friendly to all. She was an opinionated and strong individual who didn't hesitate to speak out for the underserved and those in need.

Kenneth "Kenny" William Lampart

Kenneth “Kenny” William Lampart, 84, of Asheboro, passed away on March 2, 2026, in his adopted city of Asheboro, NC.

Kenny was born January 12, 1942, in Oceanside, NY to Martin Matthew and Mildred Agnes Lampart. He built a long and respected career in commercial and residential construction. As a commercial superintendent, he played a significant role in shaping the Asheboro community, contributing to landmark projects including Randolph Health, the attached hospital parking deck, and the Randolph County Courthouse.

A natural teacher and mentor, Kenny had a gift for working with young people and took pride in teaching others the value and skill of working with their hands. Even after retirement, he remained dedicated to service through Habitat for Humanity, helping build homes and offering steady encouragement, patience, and guidance to all who worked alongside him.

Above all, Kenny was devoted to his family. He shared 63 years of marriage with the love of his life, Diane, building a partnership grounded in loyalty, faithfulness, and unwavering support. He enjoyed golfing—proudly recalling his hole-in-one in Myrtle Beach—and was a lifelong, enthusiastic fan of the San Francisco 49ers, rarely missing an opportunity to follow the team or talk football.

Later in life, Kenny faced the profound challenge of becoming an above the knee bilateral amputee with remarkable strength and resilience. He refused to let it define or limit him, embracing life with determination and grace. A familiar and friendly presence at the local YMCA billiard room, he formed long lasting, meaningful friendships and continued to live with purpose and connection.

Kenny will be remembered for his work ethic, mentorship, resilience, and deep love for his family and community.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his daughter, Diana Lampart Woollen; his son, Jason Lampart Sr.; his grandchild, Heather Guy; his brother, Matthew Lampart; and his sister, Betty Anderson.

Kenny is survived by his devoted wife of 63 years, Diane Lampart; his son, Adam Lampart (Andi); his grandchildren, Eric Lampart Jr. (Sadie), Michael Lampart (Tessa), Kenna Lampart, and five Great Grandchildren; his brothers, Martin Lampart Jr. and Michael Lampart; and his sisters, Charlotte Weiss and Mildred Meers.

Services are pending and will be announced at a later date.

Later in life, he was the owner/operator of Shaw’s Home Improvement. A carpentry shop that was a labor of love as he did it less for the money and more the smiles and to make people happy. He loved to be around his best friends, Bucky and Rodney Jernigan – your friendships meant the world to him.

Brian’s wish to come home and see his family and friends was fulfilled by so many we want to thank, especially Bucky.

The family wishes to thank their families at Bible Baptist Church in Supply, NC and Midway United Missionary Church in Randleman.
