She will be best remembered for her involvement in quilting, which began as a hobby but grew into a lifetime of artistic expression. Although she worked in several quilt stores where she taught quilting, she will be remembered for inspiring would-be quilters, many of whom became lifelong friends. Her knack for blending colors and fabrics into traditional quilt patterns was truly amazing as was the prodigious number of quilts she completed, most of which were given away to family members and friends. Several of her individually pieced and hand-quilted creations won prizes in quilt shows, but she was much more motivated to teach others to quilt than to win prizes. A memorial service in her honor will be held at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Newport, where she and her husband had been members since moving to Vermont. Memorial contributions may be made on her behalf to the Orleans-Essex Visiting Nurses Association and Hospice, Inc., without whom her peaceful and untroubled passing would have been impossible.

Ingalls of Irasburg; her son Bill and his wife, Toni, of Irasburg; grandsons: Jesse Ingalls and his wife, Sally, Russell Ingalls, Keith Ingalls and his wife, Mimi, and Kevin Ingalls; her great-grandson Jonathan; and her sister Odessa Sanville of Irasburg; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by daughters Marilyn, Susan, Paula, and Deborah, as well as a brother, Kenneth Farr, and by two sisters, Mary Potter and Madeline Kennison. Mrs. Ingalls was born and raised on the family farm in Albany and attended Craftsbury Academy. In her youth, she was a skilled horse rider, and was often seen riding her horse over hill and dale to school in Albany Center. On February 1, 1944, she married Maurice who was serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II. She worked various jobs while keeping her home. She was a frequent participant in most of the area bingo games and won her share of the jackpots. Mrs. Ingall's true love in life was her family. She lived for her husband, son and grandsons. Gram could always be counted on to impart gentle advice and encouragement to those she thought needed it, and no holiday get-together was complete without gram's rolls. She bravely suffered grave tragedy in her life with the loss of her four daughters. Throughout all heartache, she showed a strength most would feel impossible to comprehend. She always knew she would see the girls again, and now she has. She leaves behind a shining example of how one should live, and she will be sadly missed by her family and friends. Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. on May 9 at the Irasburg United Church with the Reverend Harvey Bartlett officiating. Interment followed in Albany Village Cemetery. Should friends desire, contributions in her memory may be made to the Irasburg United Church, Irasburg, Vermont 05845.
