Ina B. was born in Shickley, NE on January 4, 1934 to Ben and Agnes (Bergquist) Miller. She attended business school as a young woman to begin her career. Ina B. met her husband in Ceresco, Nebraska and they married on June 26, 1955. Roger’s father (Nels E. Olson) officiated the wedding and they honeymooned in Eldorado Springs, CO. They moved from Wahoo, NE to Boulder, CO, in 1966. They owned businesses in Wahoo NE and Boulder, CO doing residential, commercial and industrial electrical projects.

Ina B. was a member of Atonement Lutheran Church, and she will be always remembered as a faithful servant to God, a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her greatest passion was bringing family and communities together and staying in touch with friends, old and new. She was incredibly strong and independent, and stepped to her own beat. The life of caregiving to her family members and her beloved husband who passed from Alzheimer’s was full of kindness, grace and humor. She had a love for gardening, animals and helping the less fortunate. Ina B. died unexpectedly from complications due to the flu. She will be greatly missed.

All our welcome to attend the memorial service held in her honor at Atonement Lutheran Church, 685 Inca Parkway, Boulder, CO on January 12th at 10 a.m. The family members will hold a private internment service at Fort Logan Cemetery on January 11th.
