Ingeborg Davis

February 14, 1937 — February 24, 2021

\r\nIngeborg (Inga) Anne Keck Davis passed away peacefully at her home Feburary 24,2021. She was born to Anna Marie and Karl Keck on Feburary 14, 1937 in Stuttgart Germany. Her brother Willie Hellstern preceded her in death. Other siblings Fred (Fresia) Keck, Ursula Smith, and Renate (Fritz) Schwenk. Inga is survived by her son Wendell (Tammy) Davis, daughters Suzanne and Christine Davis, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and other relatives. \r\n\r\nInga was preceded in death by husband Prentiss M Davis Jr. a career Army Medic. Upon her return with him to the States, she learned the American language, took citizenship classes, and proudly took her oath in becoming an American citizen. Mike was her anchor and he called her sweetheart. During the last ten years of Mike's life, when he was battling ALS, Inga found strength through love in caring for him, her children, and their home. She supported the family by working as a licensed hairstylist, cosmologist, the training she had earned in Germany. She worked as a sales representative at JC Penny, Royal Dalton, Godchaux, and later for Macy's where she became a successful and highly respected manager at their cosmetics and jewelry department. \r\n \r\nShe was swept off her feet by a handsome and hardworking gentleman from Uruguay, Julio Sattler. Their life together is remembered as loveing, deeply devoted and blissfully happy for eighteen years until his death. \r\n \r\nInga enjoyed her travels to Euope, Uruguay, and many other places all over the US. She was very gregarious made friends everywhere she went. With the appreciation for the finer things in life, she always remained humble and thoughtful of others. In her childhood she experienced the harsh lean years that came with WWII, as well as the kindness of the Catholic Nuns who provided to her in times of need. She, too, cared and gave generously out of compassion. \r\n\r\nInga was poised and elegant. She was funny and sometimes could be down-right mischievous at times. Her laughter and her German accent were a standout. \r\n\r\nTo her numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she leaves behind lessons of how to keep things in meticulous order, overcome adversities, and embrace life to its fullest. \r\n\r\nWe loved Inga and miss her very much.\r\n
