Ingrid Cenkner Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She is survived by her children, Dr. Stefanie Lindahl Shaff (Corey) of Sharon, CT and Nina Tierney (Robert) of Sherborn, MA and three grandchildren.
?Ingrid was born in Stockholm, Sweden and moved to the United States in 1949 as an au pair. She met her husband through a blind date set up by mutual friends and they married six weeks later enjoying a loving marriage for over 50 years. In the early years of their marriage Ingrid earned a degree in x-ray technology and worked alongside her husband in his medical practice. Ingrid and Stefan raised their children in Pocantico Hills, NY.
?Ingrid was known for her caring heart, concern for others and having a strong will. She loved to bake and to sing. Her delicious (and renowned) Swedish cinnamon buns were enthusiastically enjoyed by her family and her many friends.
?Plans for a memorial service are not available at this time.
