Ingamells lived in other areas around England, and worked as a milliner before settling back in Enfield in 1990.Her daughter, Patricia Bull said, at the time of Ingemells' 111th birthday, that the secret of her longevity was to "never look back, always look forward, which she is certainly doing".

Ingamells died of pneumonia at Chase Farm Hospital, Enfield on 1 March 2006, aged 112.
