Ingrid Olfenbuttel, age 63, of Upper Arlington, passed away on September 20, after fighting a challenging battle with pancreatic cancer. She remained strong and beautiful as she passed peacefully at home, surrounded by family.  Born in Emden, Germany, on October 29, 1938, she was  the youngest of five siblings and grew up during WWII on the North Sea island of Borkum.  After extensive travel in Europe, she attended university in Madrid, Spain and later came to the United States.  In 1969, she met Robert Olfenbuttel and they were married in January of 1970.  After Robert’s retirement from the Air Force, they moved to Upper Arlington and Ingrid lovingly made this new place “home”. She returned to banking in 1990, first with Century Bank and than by proudly helping to open and work for the Arlington Bank. After helping hundred’s of customers, she retired in 2000 and enjoyed gardening, rescuing stray animals, antiquing, and helping her daughters decorate their homes. She is preceded by her parents Astrid and Horst Kessler. She is survived by her caring husband Robert, her daughters Astrid and Colleen, sisters Astrid Flanders of Michigan and Helga Franssen of Germany, brothers Udo Kessler of Florida and Rolf Kessler of Germany, and several nieces and nephews whom she showered with children’s books and was known as “The Book Aunt”.  No funeral services will be held, but a private celebration of her life will be held for family and close friends. In lieu of flowers, friends may help further research on this little understood cancer by sending contributions to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN), 2221 Rosecrans Ave., Ste. 131, El Segundo, CA 90245 in her memory.
