Inge passed away at Nexus Shenandoah Hospital in Houston, TX on January 19, 2017 with her family present.  She was born in Schwaebish Gmund, Germany on July 24, 1925, and then moved with her family to Schwaebish Hall in 1930.  Her childhood and schooling continued uninterrupted until WW II started in 1939.  Her father was killed in Holland in 1943, leaving Inge, her mother and younger brother to fend for themselves.  Inge assumed the head-of-household responsibility and utilizing her nurse training became a nurse at the Diak-Schwaebish-Hall Hospital in the children's ward.  She continued working as a nurse until 1953 when she met and married Richard McKean.  She then changed positions by becoming a manager for the US Army Exchange at Dolan Barracks.  The McKeans had Sibylle in 1955 and stayed in Germany until 1959 when Dick and family were assigned to Fort Sill.  Inge had little difficulty integrating into life in the US with her smile, gentle disposition and essentially perfect English, polished while she was at the PX.  Inge was a strong influence keeping the family together through Dick's Vietnam assignments and numerous travels that continued after he retired and went back doing the same work for another 20 years.  Inge's caring came from the fact that Dick's mom was a nurse, Inge was a nurse, Sibylle was a nurse and now Inge's granddaughter is also a nurse.  Inge's accomplishments include; surviving until 91, Army wife and mother 59 years, Fort Sill Thrift Shop Volunteer for 48 years, Army Community Service 20 years with Order of Molly Pitcher, Inge McClure will executrix for 3 years, $3/4 Mil, New Post Chapel 47 years and the NW Sheridan Neighborhood Watch Co-coordinator 8 years.

Survivors in the US include her husband Richard (Dick) McKean, daughter Sibylle Waugh and son-in-law James of The Woodlands, TX, granddaughter Stefanie Waugh of The Woodlands, TX, grandson Jonathan Waugh of Round Rock, TX, great grandson Coltin McKenzie of The Woodlands, TX and her surviving family in Germany, a brother Wilfred Trucksaess, sister-in-law Ursula Trucksaess, nephew Hansjorg Trucksaess and wife Suzanne, great nephew Christian, great niece Lisa, nephew Volker Trucksaess and companion Angela and a cousin Gisela Schweizer.
