Ingrid Kohlstaedt Obituary
Ingrid M. Kohlstaedt, 97, passed away Saturday, February 18, 2023, at Apple Rehab in Colchester, CT. Ingrid was born September 3, 1925, in Kiel, Germany. She married Detlev Kohlstaedt in Hamburg in 1953, and the two of them immigrated to Rochester, NY, in 1954. They spent many happy years in Rochester and Canandaigua, including family weekends enjoying the outdoors at a cabin built by Detlev in Bristol. Ingrid was a self-taught master gardener. Their homes were always graced by beautiful flower beds. During the holidays, Ingrid always baked a delicious assortment of cookies and pastries. Ingrid eventually went to work as her husband's secretary in his firm, Kohlstaedt and Fredrickson Architects. They retired to Nags Head, NC, before relocating to Connecticut to be closer to family. Ingrid is predeceased by her husband, and her son, Peter Kohlstaedt. She is survived by her son, Ronald Kohlstaedt of Wayland, NY, her daughter Susan Butler, of Salem, CT, five grandchildren, John Peter, Ryan, Scott, Melissa, and Emma, and two great-grandchildren. There are no calling hours. A memorial service is planned for this summer in Canandaigua, NY. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Humane Society of your choice.
