Ingried Katz Nodvin

This obituary was written by Mindee Nodvin, the only child and surviving daughter of Ingried Katz Nodvin, of Atlanta, Georgia.

Because of the incredibly close and unique bond I share with my Mom, her obituary has been challenging for me to write. Thus, the month-long delay in its posting.

Ingried passed away on February 27, 2025. Her funeral was held on February 28th, and she was buried in the Orthodox section of Arlington Memorial Park. She was born in Birmingham Alabama, on July 25th, 1945 to Sadie Koplon Katz and David Katz, founding members of Beth Jacob Synagogue. At the time of her passing, Ingried was the longest living Lifetime Member of the synagogue.

In Atlanta, Ingried attended Morningside Elementary and Grady High School. As a teenager, she was elected Sweetheart of AZA Chapter 518. She studied for a Bachelor of Fine Arts at University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida.

Ingried excelled creatively throughout her life in many areas. She was a professional wedding cake decorator for years and later, and at age 53 began studying antiques. Within two years of delving into this new passion, she started her own business where she employed more than twenty antique and collectibles dealers.

Above all, she curated and perfected the role of ‘Single Mom’ years before the concept even existed.

She was best known for her kind and generous spirit, her authentic Jewish-Southern accent and her contagious and unyielding soulful laughter. She lived every day as a Jewish righteous woman, recognizing even the smallest events with deep appreciation and as an opportunity to be joyful.
