Grandma turns 100




The grand matriarch of the Langmann family nurtured a love for language, arts and culture as an accomplished oil painter and well-travelled tour guide, and has always been an outspoken champion of the underdogs and defenceless.
Inger Margrethe Johanne Langmann (nee Larsen) was born July 26, 1907 in Copenhagen, Valby commune and baptized in the Lutheran Jesus Church in Valby on August 4 same year.
She was the daughter of Sigrid Inger Margrethe Buhmann (1881-1955) and Premier Lieutenant in the Royal Dragoons, Viggo Johan Larsen (1874-1912).
Inger and her husband Richard Robert Langmann (1904-1992) raised Rudy, Uno and Pia in Denmark and followed their children's families to Canada in November 1958.
