Ingrid S. Siedler, almost 93, passed away August 30, 2014.

Born and educated in Sweden, she came to the U.S. as a young nurse. After meeting her husband, Phil, in Hawaii when his Merchant Marine ship ran aground on a sand bar, she returned with him to Seattle where she lived for over 60 years.

Ingrid worked as a nurse to put Phil through UW Pharmacy School. She was a long time member of Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church, an avid bridge player, a member of the Lawrence Colman Orthopedic Guild, and a terrific mother and grandmother. She enjoyed the last 5+ years at Island House on Mercer Island.

She is survived by her daughter, Monica Robbins and her husband, Mark, Jr. of Mercer Island; son, Tom and his wife, Claudine; grandchildren, Rory (Jessica) and Christian Siedler, Nicole (Cedric) Brookens and Dane (Megan) Robbins, currently living in Chandler, AZ. Special thanks to Carol Pasciuti for her loving help over the last year.
