Inge Pomp (née Ahlers) left this world on a date of her choosing – January 13th 2026 – one day before her 95th birthday. She passed peacefully accompanied by her son Alfons Pomp, daughter-in-law Rachel Chartrand and her two grandchildren: Audrey and Geneviève.

A wonderful mom, cook, an amazing crocheter and great lover of music, ballet and the arts; she held strong opinions which she was not shy to share.  She had impeccable taste and kept her house meticulously. She travelled extensively in North America and Europe. She is among the last of a generation that knew the last world war (and sheltering from bombs) the space race and lunar landing, the cold war, perestroika, internet, smartphones, the information age and whatever history will call the current state of affairs. 

She enjoyed preparing family and friends get togethers, swimming in the ocean and our lake but really loved snowstorms when her family were snug and safe in front of the fireplace. Over the years she bravely faced a series of progressive, significant health problems with bravery – but was saddened as one by one the important people in her life passed on.

At her request there will be no funeral nor celebration of life. (This tribute was kindly provided by her son, Alfons). Our thoughts are with him.

Inge was a beloved Wednesday daytime information guide – she joined us in 1998 and celebrated over 20 years of volunteer service before moving to be closer to her family outside Ontario. Always in our hearts.
