Even though Inga was hearing and speech impaired, she loved to bring joy to others by smiling, throwing kisses, being mischievous and laughing. Her favorite everyday enjoyment over the years were watching TV which included the Price is Right, Days of Our Lives, and golfing. She loved to bake, and her favorite was making sugar cookies. Some of her hobbies were latch hook kits, paint by number, embroidering, putting puzzles together and with her green thumb grew beautiful flowers. When she was a resident at the Good Shepherd Home she never missed an activity, and her favorite was Bingo. She loved having her hair fixed and her nails painted, and her favorite color was pink.
