STOVALL--Inger Bagger. On July 1, 2003, at 10:30 PM, in Memorial Sloan - Kettering Hospital, Inger Bagger Stovall died peacefully surrounded by family members. She had been suffering from lung cancer, first diagnosed on April 8, 2003, according to her adoring husband of some 52 years, Robert H. Stovall Sr. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1928, daughter of Dr. Sofus V. Bagger and Anna Nicoline Bagger, she graduated from the Royal Danish Technical School there as a print designer. Her work in silkscreening was exhibited throughout Scandinavia. She met her husband at the University of Copenhagen Graduate Study Program in 1948. She came to the U.S. in 1951, where they married. She became a U.S. citizen in 1996. Inger Stovall lived for 25 years in Mountain Lakes, NJ, with a seasonal home in Barnegat Light, NJ, for 19 years. Most recently she had resided in Sarasota, FL., with homes in Manhattan and Honesdale, PA, as well. Active in social work, she operated a Cheer Ring helpline service at Marble Collegiate Church for 20 years. Inger also helped establish student scholarship and ethics programs at NYU's Stern Business School, Seton Hall Prep, Penn, and four secondary schools in NJ, PA and FL. She is also survived by her four children, Sten T. Stovall of London, England, Sam Stovall of Jersey City, NJ, I. Benedikte Stovall of Bryn Mawr, PA, Robert H. Stovall Jr. of Fanwood, NJ, plus six beloved grandchildren. In addition, she raised Enrique Del Riego and Eduardo Del Riego now of Miami, FL., who joined her family via the ''Pedro Pan'' program from Cuba in 1962. A beautiful woman spiritually and in all other ways, Inger Stovall will be sorely missed by many people in many places. Interment will be private in Honesdale, PA, on July 5, with a memorial service planned for April 2004 in Sarasota. Memorial donations may be made to the Sarasota Hopewell Potters Field Fund.
