Sometime after her arrival in her adopted country, Ingeborg married Alva A. Rankin who preceded her in death. Her working years were spent as a secretary for the Orange County School Board in Orlando, Florida before retiring and eventually making her way to Tennessee. Born and raised as a Catholic, Ingeborg was a woman of exceptional strength and character, one whose experiences in life molded her into a formidable ally—or opponent.
Ingeborg Rosa Feller Rankin departed this life on April 9, 2018 at the age of 89 years, one month, and 23 days. She leaves behind her daughter, Erika E. Catalino and her husband Darryl of Savannah, Tennessee, her two sons Larry Rankin of Pueblo, Colorado, and Michael A. Rankin of Oviedo, Florida, and four grandchildren.
