Obituary For Ingrid Bloxsom Rill

Ingrid Bloxsom Rill left her family and friends for her journey to heaven on March 16, 2015 in Fremont, CA at the age of 51. Ingrid leaves behind her husband Greg, her parents Dave and Ursel, her daughter Stefanie, and her grandson James.

Ingrid attended Mission San Jose High School in Fremont, California. She was on both the Junior Varsity and Varsity high school swim team, the Mission Mermaids. Following graduation from high school in 1980, Ingrid attended San Jose State University and while in attendance received an Army ROTC Scholarship. She graduated from SJSU in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science, Nursing (BSN) with a Minor in Military Science and her Public Health Nurse License. Following college, Ingrid served in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, 5/86 to 7/90. While in service, First Lieutenant Ingrid Bloxsom was awarded The Army Commendation Medal and a Department of the Army Certificate of Achievement.

Following service and for twenty years, Ingrid worked as an RN in various assignments and duties (charge nurse on Orthopedics, Neurosurgery, Urology, and Ear Nose & Throat wards; registry nurse in acute and long-term care hospitals; follow-up Home Team member) throughout the Bay Area. Ingrid also continued to advance her education and training right up to her departure from the living. In spite of continuing and sometimes severe health problems, struggles, dilemmas and hardships, Ingrid survived and continued her concern for others and her love for her parents, her daughter, and her husband.

Ingrid enjoyed bicycling, walking, swimming, crossword puzzles and Ingrid especially enjoyed talking with her husband, parents and daughter. Ingrid spoke both English and German. Ingrid was loved, cherished and respected. Rest in Peace.

HAIL MARY, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

GLORY BE to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

She was laid to rest on March 20, 2015 at Irvington Memorial Cemetery in Fremont, CA.

    Ingrid, I still have your pictures and memories. I read your obituary and know how at times life was difficult for you. There is no excuse for anyone to have done you harm. Love is still here, Greg

    It is so sad to hear God has taken his child so soon, I offer my deepest sorrow and Condolences to Ingrids Parents, it is the hardest thing a parent can bear, and we know not why God challenges us so much. Ingrid and Greg invited me to have lunch at their home when I was in Redding about four years ago. Ingrid was so very kind to me, she went out of her way to make a delicious lunch, and make sure I was full. Ingrid was kind, smart, had a great sense of humor, and exuded the overall warmth of Love. She is in Gods hands now, at peace in Gods heaven, resting from this most difficult world. Rest in Peace Ingrid, and know you are Loved here, and in eternity. with Sincere Love, with my deepest condolences, David Maes Gallegos MA Brother in law if Ingrid and Brother of Greg Rill.

    Ingrid was a special member of our family. Showing up one day with a bouquet of flowers for my mother while my mother was working in her garden is a memory we will never forget. Ingrid's thoughtful, kind, and gentle soul will never be forgotten. We love you Ingrid and we will miss you. Loving thoughts and prayers to my brother Greg and Ingrid's family. Stephanie

    Ingrid Bloxsom Walch Rill was a U.S. Army 1st Lt. whom I loved, respected and cherished. As I was subject to the strict UCMJ, so was she and she was good. I listened to her stories for years and read her writings. She was so intelligent. I miss her.

    Our loving daughter, Ingrid, was a caring, warm person who loved her daughter, Stefanie, and her five year old grandson, James. As a registered nurse and a fist lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps stationed for four years at the Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C., she took pride in caring for her sick and lonely patients. Her short life on this earth was well spent, and she leaves our world in a better state due to her loving and caring heart. Her Dad

    My mom had a heart of gold. She would help anyone in any situation without thinking of her own needs. My mother enjoyed her life journey with many laughs that have left us with some amazing stories to remember. I could call my mom at my darkest times and she could make me laugh and cure my loneliness. I will miss her. -Stefanie

    Ingrid and I met and fell in love with each other in 1992. We lived together, separated and were reunited in 2009. In 2010 we finally married. We had a wonderful marriage because Ingrid was such a warm, soft, caring, loving and wonderful woman. The warm, soft, glow and light in her eyes during our first dance together in 1992 was still with her on the day we parted and Ingrid's caring qualities were with her until the day she left us. Despite her struggles, dilemmas, and hardships, she survived and continued her concern for others and her love for her parents, her daughter, and her husband. Ingrid, may your soul rise to Heaven and I look forward to being with you when my soul leaves this Earth. Greg

    I always remember you as a kind, gentle, and loving soul. Distances and time do not change these eternal memories. I am deeply saddened, and burdened for those close to you, and for those who love you. May God's Love and Peace be with and comfort all who grieve. Your gentle spirit will always be with me, and some day, when the time is full, I hope to see you in paradise. Cousin Gerry and Family

    Your absorbed thoughts of love and concern were always visible in your smile, your brows, your demeanor, your deeds and your actions. You will always be missed by those who loved you most. “When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” Kahlil Gibran “Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.” Charles Dickens “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:18-31

    My dear wife, I think about you every day. I look at your picture on the wall and think of our years together; twenty three years of friendship, love and finally marriage is a long time and you know I was always there for you. You at times were troubled by others but they cannot trouble you any more; they cannot bother you any longer. You are safe, sound and at rest. Rest in Peace. Love Always, Greg
