Ingeborg Pauline Kallman was born in June 1924 in Dusseldorf, Germany, the daughter of Margaretha, nee Aronhein (1879-1994) and Ernst Kellman (1896-c. 1950). Inge's father served in the German army, 1915-1919.
Inge came to the UK with her parents as refugees in 1939, settling in Manchester where family connections had a factory. Inge worked in a clothing factory and then trained first in general nursing at City of Salford Hope Hospital, Eccles, 1945-8, followed by midwifery at St James's Hospital, Balham and the South London Hospital for Women and Children. She later took a nursing administration course at the Royal College of Nursing. She held posts in Manchester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Leeds before moving to regional level, first with the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board and then the Mersey RHA in 1970. She retired in June 1984.
In her retirements, Inge Kallman travelled and studied. She received a BA in history and applied social science from Edge Hill College of Higher Education in 1992: her thesis focused on 'Jewish Poor Relief in Liverpool, 1811-1882'. Inge died, aged 85, in January 2009.
