Ilsa will always be Mrs. Walters to me. I grew up with Ted as they just lived down the street from me. I spent many long hours enjoying the warm hospitality of the Walters. She was always a strong presence and held herself as a force of nature. During high school, I worked for her as a stock boy at the base exchange where I got my first taste of real work. The years after high school, I would bump into her on base or see her at a family gathering and I was always greeted with a sincere smile and questions about how I am doing.

I am saddened of her passing and even more that I can't attend her memorial.

She was a wonderful lady and meant a lot to me through my formative years. She will be missed.

I remember meeting Ilse at the senior games in Palo Alto. She was such a delight! At night she would come into our room, lay on the bed with us and share her tales of her younger years. What a fantastic woman. She had the heart of a lion. She was so proud of her family. I remember watching her race her first race of the games. She left nothing behind. What determination and grit. My life has been enhanced by knowing this wonderful woman. I feel privileged to have met her and her family. She will be missed.

Ilse was a very special lady who we all felt very honored to know. She wowed my husband Dave, my friend Sue, and I with her athletic drive and accomplishments, her zest for life and the people she graced with her presence, and her wonderful stories of the history she lived when she biked out of Germany near WWII. I will always remember her toughness and her laughter. Know that she touched people everywhere she went. Her story-telling was fascinating. I have enjoyed her wonderful emails over the years since we met in 2009 at Senior Olympic Nationals and will never forget her inspiring feats and especially her smile and charm. It is comforting and even more inspiring to know she swam to the end and then coasted to the wall the last 3 months. She was a born breaststroker, like me, and I can only hope to follow in her smooth, strong, peaceful wake.

Ilse's passing was a shock as she seemed indestructible. So strong of body, mind and will. I will miss her for a long time. No more sharing thoughts on sports, politics and plants and gardens.
We were both Mariner fans, she really devoted. Since I went to bed earlier than she did I would never see the last few innings. Ilse would stay up until the sometimes bitter end and leave me an email for first thing in the morning with the final score along with some comments. Usually starting with "if I was the manager or I should be the manager. but they didn't ask me". She was quite a woman. Peace Ilse and enjoy our Heavenly garden.
Love, Joan Campion
