Wilton, NY - Ingeborg (Inge) V. Smith passed into the arms of the Lord on November 4, 2014 at Albany Medical Center. Born on September 21, 1926 in Essen, Germany, she was the daughter of Louis and Erna Vignold. Trained as an engineering draftsperson in wartime Germany, she worked near the town of Essen until her factory and family home were destroyed in a bombing raid. Emigrating to the United States in 1948, Inge became a devoted wife and mother, while continuing her drafting work in a long career with several architects, design, and manufacturing firms, as well as with the Federal government. Her caring, compassion, and generosity were boundless and will long be remembered and treasured by her family and friends, whose correspondence and visits always brought her great joy. She enjoyed camping, gardening, crocheting and word puzzles; and her German cooking always brought delight (and a few pounds) to family and friends. Inge was predeceased by her husband, Harry G. Smith (major, U.S. Army, retired). She is survived by five children: Dennis (Jean) Taylor Sr. of Wilton, NY; Donald (Darlene) Smith of Woodstock, GA; Deborah (Wayne) Haddad of Fayetteville, NC; David (Tricia) Smith of Newington, GA; and stepson Douglas (Cathy) Smith of St. Petersburg, FL; eleven grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, and several cousins in Germany. At Inge's request she was cremated and there will be no calling hours. A memorial service will be held Sunday, Nov. 30, 2014 at 2:30pm in Our Lady's Chapel in the parish center of St. Clement's Church, 231 Lake. Ave. All are welcome. A service for close family and friends will also be conducted at her internment at Hillcrest Abbey West Cemetery in Savannah, GA.
