It was a pleasure to know Inez. She was a wonderful lady always willing to help others.
We have fond memories of watching her at the Elfner family reunions dancing up a storm and singing with her brother and sister along with other family members.
Whenever we met she was genuinely happy to see us and we always had great conversations and lots of laughter.
She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

We will miss Aunt Inez very much!
She was such a special part of our family. We celebrated a lot of birthdays and gatherings with her over the years with such great memories. She always enjoyed
coming over on Christmas Day and we enjoyed having her. This past Christmas was the first year she did not feel up to coming and she surely was missed.
Our family has many special memories with her. It was such a pleasure to have known her.

To all of Inez’s family and friends I extend my deepest sympathies. Inez was a good, kind lady and one of strength and determination living outside Caledonia for many years on her own after Bruce passed. I trust God will keep all the great memories of Inez alive as family and friends share stories and reminiscence.
