Sylvia Ingalls (née MacIntosh) passed away peacefully on November 16, in the company of family after a difficult battle with Parkinson's. She will be remembered by those who loved her for her grace, kind heart, wisdom, and the steady hand she brought to everything in her life. Sylvia was born on June 16, 1935, in Nelson, B.C. (and raised in Oliver B.C.) to Maude and Ralph MacIntosh, who imbued her with a sense of family, respect and compassion for others. Although her adventures in life took her elsewhere for a time, she returned to B.C. to raise her family and to meet the great love of her life, Ken Ingalls, who fondly referred to her as 'Pet'. She was truly blessed to be married for 42 years to such a great man, and he in turn doted on her with the great affection she truly deserved. She worked proficiently in medical offices for 20 years and then volunteered at a hospice and her church for another 20 years. Sylvia is predeceased by her older siblings, Doug MacIntosh and Joyce Hopkins. She is survived by her husband Ken, her daughter Brenda (Brian) Harrigan, and her sons, Derrick (Ginette), Kevin (Colleen) and Ralph (Shelley) Smith. We love and miss you Mom! She is also survived by her sister Barbara Lord, and her grandchildren Sean, Connor, Josh, Shannon, Cassidy, Jacob, Cole and Sophie, as well as her great grandchild and namesake Sylvi. Sylvia will be remembered as a wonderful person: wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt and friend. She will be missed by all. Sylvia's family would like to thank the staff at Dufferin Care Centre for their wonderful help and support. There will be a celebration of her life at 2:00 January 02, 2017 at Knox Presbyterian Church, 403 E Columbia St. New Westminster. Donations in lieu of flowers to Crossroads Hospice Society in Port Moody.
