February 23rd, 1934 – December 8th, 2024
In loving memory of Inga Marjatta Turpeinen, beloved mother of Maj-Britt Myers (Jeff Edwards), adored Grama to Lisa Baker (Micheal) and Sarah Keyes (Andrew), and special “Gigi” to Ava Baker, Reece Keyes and Ella Baker. She peacefully passed into the loving arms of Jesus, surrounded by her loved ones.
Family was the heart of Inga’s life, and this was reflected through the wisdom she shared, her kind gestures, her attentive listening, and the many gifts she gave to show her love. Through the years she took pride in the accomplishments of her daughter, grandchildren and great grandchildren by attending and supporting all of their life events. She was their biggest cheerleader. With a rich Finnish heritage, a strong Christian faith, the resilience of SISU, and a heart full of humour, she touched all who knew her. A true lady of elegance and grace, Inga worked at Elm Fashions, where her keen eye for fashion and strong work ethic were appreciated by all. Inga was gifted at knitting, cooking, baking and was an avid reader. She had a love for music, nature, travel and a soft heart for pets. In her younger years, she enjoyed sports such as skiing and swimming. Her favourite place to be was with her family, especially by sharing her love of shopping.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the incredible staff at St. Joseph’s Villa. Your kindness, compassion, care, and support is truly appreciates. A special thank you to Kayla M. who brought Inga such comfort and joy.
A private family service will be held to celebrate and honour Inga’s life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Joseph’s Villa.
