It was a pleasure and privilege to work with Ingrid at Hodges Library. Her sweet smile and sunny disposition helped create in our Library a welcoming and congenial atmosphere. She will be sincerely missed.
I met Ingrid at UT Hospital. She will always be one of the most joyous individuals I have ever met. The room brightened up the very moment she walked in! She encouraged hope and love in all of us who got to be with her. Ingrid has been a blessing in so many people’s lives. I am so thankful that I could call her my sweet friend.
My prayers are with her family. She is free! Glory, glory.
Sincere sympathy in the loss of your loved one. In the days ahead may you find hope and comfort in Jesus Words at John 5:28,29 “for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”
My prayers are with Ingrid’s children and family. Ingrid always had beautiful smile and a kind word to say. Teisha Warner Class of 90
I knew Ingrid through her work at UT’s Hodges Library and was uplifted whenever I saw her. She always had a wonderful and beautiful smile to share with everyone. I admired her faith, strength, and courage throughout her illness — what an example she sets for us all! She will be forever missed, but she will hold a special place in the hearts of all who were fortunate to cross her path. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Ingrid will be remembered for her energetic personality and boisterous voice. What fun! Jada, may you find strength from our heavenly father during this unique time in your life. We know you miss your mother, but this is the time to lean on your heavenly father. Words, however kind, can’t mend your heartache, but we do pray and hope for your comfort and peace of mind. Let your sorrow be a bridge not a barrier to the getting a closer relationship with your heavenly father. We are so sorry for your loss and the good times with your mother will be cherished.
