“She instilled in her students and her children a love of language, narrative cohesion, and grammar (and if she were still with us today, she would probably have line-item edits to this obituary). In 1971, she married the love of her life, Thomas Michael Power (Mike), after they both fell head over heels at a mutual friend’s party. Ingrid was a talented and stylish seamstress, a skill that she only honed with time as she spent hours making her children outfits for special events such as the senior prom. She also launched a mid-career small business, Ingrid’s Final Touches, which gave her an outlet for her home décor talent while raising three children. Additionally she was a Brownie leader and children’s choir leader at Church of the Nativity. She was a devoted wife, mom, and grandmother and will be remembered for her wit and wry humor, incomparable baking skills, and love of
New Jersey summers at the beach.”
