Sincere condolences are extended to all of Inge’s family, as she moves on to her eternal home. Inge was my sister-in-law, having married my brother Bud in the mid-50’s in Germany. As a new bride, she left her native land to come to Canada, where she and Bud raised their amazing children, Frank, Mike, Gary and Cathe ~ the joys of her life.
Inge cared deeply for her family and instilled high morals, values and principles in her children. As a devoted and dedicated wife, she cared for and about Bud. He was blessed to have her as his life-long partner. Inge’s home was everything to her –
a home that was always warm and inviting with a pot of tea and desserts to enjoy. It reflected her creativity and her sense of style. It was a home as open as her heart – a heart that saw beauty in everything and everybody.
Inge was a hard-working woman and always true to herself. She was a truth teller and was able to communicate her thoughts and feelings to others in a gentle and honest way. Kind by nature, sincere, genuine, vibrant and full of life, it was the simple things that made her happy.
Inge was like a big sister to me and as I reflect on my late teen years and early 20’s, I will always remember how she was there for me, when I was experiencing young love, with all its joys and sorrows. She listened, she offered wise advice and her inquisitive face always said she was interested and she cared.
Inge had a sense of humor that was as unique as Inge, herself. Bud relished in this and was always quick to tell an Inge story. But together, they were a great comedy team that would rival the likes of Desi & Lucy, the odd couple, Gracie & George Burns and Penn & Teller.
A strong woman – quiet light – peaceful dove … she taught wisdom, she taught love. Her legacy will live on in her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all those, whose lives she touched. Fly high, dear, sweet Inge – you have more than earned your wings.
