Born on in Berlin, Germany, Ingrid survived the Holocaust in hiding with her family. In 1947, at the age of 12, she, her mom and brother came to New York to begin a new life. She married Alex Weiss at the age of 18 and had two daughters with him, Denise Sacks and Ann Rolett. Alex died in 1963. Three years later, she married Phil Sacks and adopted his daughter Sandra Sacks Follansbee who passed away in 2022. They were happily married for 52 years until his passing in 2018.

She dedicated her life to her family, enabling them to be the best they could be. She and Phil loved to travel, enjoyed being involved in their temple, sampling diverse cuisine and especially spending time with family.
