Ingrid Klassen passes
One of the programmers in the early days of Coop Radio was Ingrid Klassen. She produced and hosted the
Sunday Evening Post show, where one could hear interviews and readings by local authors and poets.
Here is an edited version of her obituary .
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ingrid Ruth Klassen on March 30th 2021 in the Critical Care Cardiac Unit at Vancouver General Hospital.
Ingrid grew up in a small farm in Sardis in the picturesque Fraser Valley, where she developed her love of the outdoors and of adventure. After graduating with a teaching degree from UBC, she enjoyed teaching in an American school in the vibrant culture of Sao Paulo Brazil for two years. On her return home she furthered her teaching career in Port Alberni, Port Hardy, Port Simpson and at Talmud Torah in Vancouver.
