Obituary for
Ingeborg Maier (Mehlhase)
It is with heavy hearts that the family announces her passing in Sudbury on Sunday, August 28, 2022, at the age of 79 years. Daughter of the late Erich and Anna Mehlhase. Beloved wife of Wolfgang Maier. Loving mother of Ralph Maier (Colleen) and Kareen Rainville (Claude). Cherished Oma of Tyler Maier (Robin), Katrina Maier (Zach), Dylan Rainville and Cody Rainville (Taneeta). Proud great-grandmother to Sophie Maier.
As a little girl at the age of 11, Inge travelled alone by ship to Canada. Moving to Sudbury to be with her family. Over the years she had met many people and became a good friend to all. This is where she met the man of her life Wolfgang, her husband, her best friend of 60 years. As she would say “her man.” Together they had many adventures and enjoyed life to the fullest
Inge loved to socialize and meet new people. She had a gift to warm up to people and talk to them as if she had known them for years. Always making them feel welcome.
She loved children. She was the best Oma that her grandchildren could have ever asked for. She loved them more than life itself. They were her everything.
Inge was a hairdresser and owned her own beauty shop at a very young age. Together with her husband they moved to Florida and bought a couple of restaurants. But she missed her friends in Sudbury and moved back in 1979. Before fully retiring they proceeded to buy a truck stop, Stop 69 and run it as a family business. She then became a full time Oma which was the best job she could ever ask for.
Inge will be remembered for having a huge heart for everyone. The family will receive relatives and friends at the Cooperative Funeral Home, 222 Lasalle Blvd, Sudbury on Friday, September 9, 2022, after 1 p.m. followed by a service at 2 p.m. in the Chapel. Donations can be made by cheque or online to the Alzheimer Society. www.cooperativefuneralhome.ca
