She also leaves behind her loyal fur companions “her babies”; which were her entire life and stayed beside her till her last days; Bella, Heidi, and Hunter. She touched the lives of many friends, family, and even strangers. The love and compassion she had for those in need and those whom she loved made her the most selfless and compassionate woman of God. She brought so much joy, passion, wisdom, and inspiration to anyone that was blessed enough to have ever met Inga, as her family, friends, and fur babies gave her such joy throughout her life until her last days upon this earth.

She was born in Pikenhammer;//Karlsbad, Germany, and joined the Civil Service at the age of 18, where she met and married her husband of 53 years while he was serving in the United States Air Force. They both worked for Defense Mapping Agency until they retired in 1993. Afterwards she joined Coldwell Banker Reality-Gundaker, meeting many wonderful lifelong friends. She had a passion for all wildlife, especially her birds, Cardinals being her favorite, and feeding all the deer at Jefferson Barracks Cemetery was where she had some of her happiest days enjoying all the nature especially when she got her friends and family to share in the fun. Her dearest friends would join her at different times to feed the deer.
