After a very brief illness, it is with great shock and sorrow that the family announce the passing of Ingrid Maureen Rath (Jaeb) on November 11, 2017.
Ingrid was born in Humboldt Sask on January 1, 1958 and was a gift to all those who knew her.
She grew up in LeRoy SK until 1968 when the family moved to Surrey BC. In 1971 the family moved to Maple Ridge where she made many lifelong friends and met the love of her life, David Rath.
Dave & Ingrid were married in August 1986. In July 1988 they welcomed their first son, Blake David and in 1991 they welcomed their second son, Dustin Andrew. Together they raised two amazing young men who were the pride and joy of her life. She was so proud of her boys and was thrilled when Kirsten and Chrissy were introduced into the family. She loved them dearly and now her family was complete.
Ingrid’s greatest joy was spending time with her family and friends. She loved to fish and camp at Canim Lake.
She loved her job and her co-workers at London Drugs.
She was the most loving, caring and forgiving person and we are all so fortunate to have had her in our lives. If she could fix the world – she would have.
Lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her husband David, sons Blake (Kirsten), Dustin (Chrissy), grandson Kaleb, parents, Walter and Norma Jaeb, siblings Kathy (Glenn), Les (Rhona), Norine (Duane) and Dale (Debbie). In-laws Vincent (Trudi), Steve, John (Laura), Kenny (Debbie), many loving nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and her furbaby Chloe.
Predeceased by David’s parents, Vincent and Gladys Rath.
The family would like to thank the staff at Royal Inland Hospital (3W) for the compassionate care they gave to Ingrid during her final days.
Memories grow stronger when loved ones have to part and will remain forever blooming in the gardens of our hearts.
A celebration of life will be held in the Spring of 2018.
Love forever and always.

Upon hearing of Ingrid’s sudden passing in November, I sent my heartfelt wishes in cards to the family wanting to do more but didn’t know what else I could offer. I know there was a close gathering in love for Ingrid at the end of March and I want everyone to know that mom and I wanted so much to be with all of you but due to health and unforeseen circumstances, it truly was not doable for us to make the trip. I believe mom and I think of Ingrid and her beloved families every day. God Bless all of you. You are in our hearts. We love you. Cheryl and mom Merle (Arnold)
