Inge passed away on August 13, 2019 at the age of 89. Predeceased by her husband Andy, Inge is survived by her children: son Robert; daughter Susanna (James); daughter-in-law Deborah and granddaughter Brianna. Born in Maribor, Slovenia to Justine and Heinrich Arlati.
In her youth, Inge worked in England and Australia where she perfected her English. After seeing an advertisement for a wife in a Vienna newspaper calling for a new life in Canada with engineer Andy Dery, Inges’ mother encouraged her to reply. Shortly thereafter, they met in Graz, Austria where Andy decided to buy her a ticket to Canada. They married on Boxing Day, 1964. Inge was a generous, kind and loving wife, mother and grandmother.
We will all miss her and her delicious European baking!
Thank you to the staff at the Oak Bay Lodge for everything they did for her and to Trish at Cullenswood Companion Care for being such a great friend!

Dear Susi, Robert and Family,
Sending big hugs and caring thoughts to you all. Your dear mom was such a lovely person who cherished her family to the max. I know you will treasure the beautiful memories, special family traditions and the time you shared together with both your parents. They were so remarkably proud of you. We all enjoyed their company in the neighbourhood through our childhood and adult years.Your mom was always so cheerful and caring to all. I know her legacy will live on in all of you.
With respect and sympathy, love Carolyn xox
