Inga Blomert, 1914 - 2007

Inga Josephine Holte Blomert, late of Eaglesham, died in McLennan Sacred Heart Community Health Centre hospital on Oct. 8, 2007 at 94 years of age. Inga was born July 29, 1914 in Washington State, United States, the youngest child of Ole and Klara Holte, and had seven brothers and one sister. She moved with her family to Amisk, Alberta in 1914. Inga married Pete Blomert on Nov. 29, 1936 in Amisk and lived there during the first years of marriage. The couple then moved north or Eaglesham for a couple of years before finally settling in a home in Eaglesham with their young daughter. Around 1945, Pete got into the Caterpillar equipment business, digging dugouts for farmers and then later land-clearing, brushing, and piling land. This necessitated hired men, which, along with twin boys born in 1946, kept Inga busy with mothering, cooking, and cleaning. Inga loved to crochet, knit, grow houseplants, and do crossword puzzles and picture puzzles. Bingo was a must, as were Nevada tickets. In the earlier years, she loved to play the accordian and piano.
