Ina worked as a secretary for the Orange County Health Department for over 22 years. In her retirement years, Ina served on a committee at Assisted Living homes where she organized activities, outings and handled recommendations for residents.
 
Ina had an extraordinary compassion for collecting puzzles, turtles, coins and jewelry; she loved road trips, enjoyed playing slot machines, loved attending the Orange County Fair, family gatherings, drinking margaritas, and getting her nails manicured. Her favorite meal was breakfast. Once retired, she eliminated all of her alarm clocks and watches.

Anyone that knew Ina loved her. She was a strong, witty, smart and funny woman that loved her family very much. Ina will be missed by her family, and all that knew her.
