Obituary for Ingrid Oetter
Ingrid Katherine Oetter
Born August 21, 1937 in Blue River, British Columbia, she passed peacefully at home on September 22, 2014 in West Vancouver. She was the third child of Olaf and Mary Rosberg. She grew up in the the Monashee range where the family worked as loggers. At age 18 she moved to Vancouver and completed secretarial college following which she worked in the continuing education department at UBC.
An avid outdoors person, she met her husband hiking with the Vancouver chapter of the Canadian Youth Hostel. She and Joe married July 21, 1959 and raised three children: Heidi (Deb), Kris and Andy (Jody). Ingrid worked in the newspaper business and retired from the North Shore News in 1993. She and Joe enjoyed their retirement years traveling. Sometimes it was in their motor home, but often with their youth hosteling friends from the 50s somewhere in Europe or New Zealand. Ingrid, a gourmet chef, with an extensive cookbook collection, was a generous and adventurous cook. Family and friends alike looked forward to dinner invitations to her Horseshoe Bay home.
Ingrid is survived by her husband Joe of 55 years and her three children and two much loved grandchildren Jaime and David. She is also survived by her sister Margaret (Lou). Predeceased by her parents and brother Peter (Doreen). A celebration of life will be held at Gleneagles Golf Course on October 4, 2014 at 2 pm overlooking the apple trees from which she made dozens of jars of applesauce each fall. No flowers by request. Donations may be made to the North Shore Palliative Care Unit. The family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses who made Ingrid's transition to her next life comfortable and graceful.
