Ingrid VanAuken Obituary
Ingrid was born and raised in Flint and graduated from St. Michael's High School. She attended Central Michigan University where she earned her Bachelor's degree and went on to teach elementary school in Saginaw for several years before becoming a mother. Ingrid later went into real estate, working for reputable agencies CMW and RE/MAX. She always enjoyed taking her kids on vacations near the water and loved to celebrate holidays and birthdays. She had a big heart and was a wonderful friend to many.
Ingrid is survived by her daughters, Angela and husband Jim Dow of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Amy VanAuken of Wesley Chapel, Florida. She was preceded in death by her mother, Mildred Blodgett and brother, John Lutton.
Honoring Ingrid's wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no services scheduled.

Angie and Amy,
I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a nice lady and I enjoyed babysitting you two when you lived on Hilray. Both your parents were friendly and kind. Prayers for you both.
Sue
