Jun 10, 1932 - Jan 8, 2018
With sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Ingrid on Monday morning, January 8, 2018 at Evergreen Baptist Campus of Care in White Rock, BC.
She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Richard; four daughters, Heidi Magnuson-Ford (David), Leah Lempesis (Bill), Ruth Magnuson (Chris Pearce) and Sonja Magnuson (Chris Dolman); ten grandchildren Julia (Phil), Karen (Patrick), Erika (Brandon), Alan (Brooke), Kyle (Vanessa), Brianna (Delroy), Kevin, Desiree, Jonah and Clara as well as one great-grandson, Mason.
Also surviving Ingrid is her sister Eva Goplen (David). She is also lovingly remembered by three nieces Cindy, Susie and Karla.
Ingrid was a true life partner for Richard. She was a confidant, encourager, shoulder to cry on and listener for her daughters. For her grandchildren she was the custodian of the Treasure Box; maker of pancake feasts; co-maker of many Christmas gingerbread houses and sender of special packages and little boxes. For friends and neighbours she was a strong, hospitable, compassionate and kind presence; a delightful and intelligent conversationalist.
Ingrid's passion was to be in her art studio creating beautiful works for others to enjoy. Her gifts included her art, expressed in calligraphy, watercolour painting, and stained glass design; dozens of loaves of homemade bread and many pairs of knitted mittens.
She also gave through her career as a registered nurse and Continuing Education art teacher.
Ingrid had a deep and strong faith in a loving, compassionate and generous God in whom she has now found her final and peaceful rest.
Her life motto - Thanks be to God!
