Ingerid (Guerdrum) Clugston, 85, passed away peacefully at her home in Albuquerque on December 8, 2007. She was preceded in death by her husband, Colonel Gerald Clugston, USAF (Ret) and her daughter, Michele Kelley. She is survived by her two daughters, Ingrid Dianne Dye and husband, Abe; Carol Moyle and husband, Greg; her son, Peter Clugston and wife, Lisa; son-in-law, Ted Kelley; nine grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren, to whom she was affectionately known as "Bestemama". Ingerid was born in San Antonio, TX on July 31, 1922 to George and Alfhild Guerdrum. After marrying her Army Air Corps sweetheart in 1942, she embarked on a career as an Air Force wife. They moved to such faraway places as Japan, Colombia and Ecuador. Upon her husband's retirement from the service, Ingerid shifted her interest to pursue completing her education and graduated from the University of New Mexico with distinction in 1989. She researched and wrote a semi-autobiographical book about her own Norwegian mother, A Viking in the Philippines as a legacy for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. To those who knew her, Ingerid was known as a gracious hostess, a loving friend, and always had an independent spirit! Interment will take place in San Antonio, TX. Donations may be made to The Scholarship Fund, c/o Pan American Round Table I, P.O. Box 1135, Corrales, NM 87040.
