Ingeborg Damgaard

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ingeborg Damgaard on August 26th, 2025 at the age of 86.

Inge was a dynamic individual with a strong faith. She was a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. In recent years, most of Inge’s community involvement was in her church and eventually, Extendicare. However, for several decades of her life, there was nothing Inge couldn’t do on the farm. She planted enormous and beautiful gardens as well as operated huge farm equipment during peak farming seasons.Inge generously shared many other gifts with her family and friends, from sewing and cooking to music. She will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know her.

Ingeborg Damgaard is survived by her daughter: Ursula and her husband, Rod, two brothers-in-law: Hans (Marlene) and Niels (Marilyn), two sisters-in-law: Bodil and Florence, three nephews: Horst, Gary (Candace), and Gordon (Janine), six nieces: Christiane (Selva), Ingeborg, Karen (Kirk), Margaret (Kevin), Janice (Kim), and Cheryl (Curtis), five grandnephews: Matthew, Christopher (Megan), Matthew (Rebecca), Jack, and Jonathan, six grandnieces: Charmaine (Zach), Lisa, Katelyn, Rachel, Melissa, and Kate, and two great-grandnieces: Hannah and Wren.

She is predeceased by her husband: Edward, parents: Johann and Josefine, seven brothers: Heinz, Horst, Günter, Siegfried, Harry, Manfred, and Helmuth, parents-in-law: Sven and Louise, three brothers-in-law: Peder, John, and David, four sisters-in-law: Emmi, Ilse, Christa, and Ursula, one nephew: Joachim, and two nieces: Cyndie and Melanie.

The family would like to thank all the staff members at the Athabasca Hospital as well as Extendicare. Their commitment to comforting care was very appreciated. A special thank you goes to Dr. Ryan Schaub for his unfailing support for Inge’s well-being.
