Inge Dora Paraham's Obituary
Inge Dora Paraham was born on September 3, 1936 in Stuttgart, Germany to Michael and Emma Mina Donaubauer. While living as a young woman in Germany, she married Eugene Paraham in 1957. They moved to Tucson in 1980. They had one daughter, Brigitte Paraham , who currently resides in Tucson.
Inge was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Siegfried.
Because of Eugene's civil service assignment, the family remained in Europe until 1983 when they moved to Tucson, Arizona, which would become Inge's permanent home. Inge proudly became a US citizen in 1960.
While being a dedicated wife and mother, she found time to become a professional aesthetician. Inge worked for several years at Canyon Ranch Spa and Resort in Tucson until she began experiencing medical issues in 2016. With the love, support, and care of her daughter, Inge fought gallantly for the last five years to recover her health. Inge was a strong and caring woman who loved to travel. She enjoyed flowers and antiques, but most of all shopping to add to her fashion ensembles. She finished each day in celebration with a small flute of champagne and her favorite German sparkling water, Sprutal.
Donations can be made to the Red Cross or Salvation Army, organizations that had a special place in Inge's heart.
