god bless you Ina, you were one in a million....may this candle burn as bright as the light did in your eyes.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Ina. It is hard to imagine that I will never see her again in this life time. I worked with Ina for many years at Yakima Valley school. As a supervisor, it was nice to know that I could always to rely on Ina for assistance and really good advice. I always felt at ease with any advice she gave me. She was so genuine and down to earth...she put people at ease,even in the worst of circumstances. She definately had the knack for solving problems, and she did it with ease. I admired this quality in Ina so much. She was always cheerful and friendly to all. She was such a vibrant person, with so much to offer this world. It is such a shame she had to leave us too soon, but rest assured, we will see her again in the heavens. My heartfelt sympathy to her family, 
You are in my prayers.

I worked with Ina in Childrens Services in the 1980's and later when she was in Human Resources for DSHS. Ina was a rare mix of strength and compassion. She was articulate and quick witted- with a great sense of humor. She talked very proudly and lovingly about her family and grandchildren. My heart goes out to them at this time. Ina was a joy to know.

I was a good friend of Ina back in the 70,s-she was the nicest gal and so much fun to be around, and i loved hearing her laugh-Sandi Krol and Family

My husband and were at Long Beach to help Ray Bethel and my aunt fly his 3 kites for the Long Beach Kite FEstival.  Coming back from lunch tents someone yelled "Glenda - Glenda Taylor, is that you?  Ina, husband and friends were there for festival and to watch Ray fly his kites.  Ina said been doing that for 12 years and love Ray!"  It was such fun to see her and I thought I'd see her at L.B. each year!  I retired from DSHS, too.  Our deepest sympathy to all of you.  Glenda and Liggett Taylor

I had just started to get to know Ina, and am so sorry to hear of her death.  Ina had recently begun the process of becoming a certified mediator with the Dispute Resolution Center, and was a new volunteer with us.  She was always friendly, quick with a joke, and lots of fun.  She was especially talented at empathizing with people, and connecting with people.  We at the DRC will miss her.  We are so sorry for your loss.

I send my condolences to Inas family.  We use to hang around together back in the ole days.  Was sorry to hear of her passing.  Have fond memorries of her. I don't know if the girls will remember me or not.

I was so sad to hear of Ina leaving us so suddenly. We have been freinds for many years. We went through motherhood with Nissa, Jenny, Rachel, and Rena. We shared many good times and some tears. She will be greatly missed by many. My love and prayers go out to the family.

Ina was one of my best friends while I lived in Grandview Washington.  She would come and visit me at least once a week and we would have so much fun together.  Her two girls played with my two boys and we would solve all the problems of the world.  After my husband passed away, she was a constant source of strength and inspiration.  What a wonderful woman!  I was only able to get out to Washington State twice since I moved to Wisconsin, but, I always made sure to look Ina up and visit with her. I would have liked to have met her husband!   My thoughts and prayers go to Nissa, Jenny, Curt, and her husband. Linda Petrie

I was saddened to hear of Ina's passing. I was a coworker of Ina's and worked with her for a number of years prior to 2008 when I retired from DSHS.  Ina was a wonderful person and always had a smile for everyone. I enjoyed her friendship through our work within human resources.  There will always be fond memories of  Ina.  May she always be in our hearts.  Our prayers and thoughts are with her family during this difficult time.

I met my husband through Ina, whom I went to school with. Ina and I were friends for many years. She still is a friend but we lost touch with each other in our busy lives. Sorry to say that we both let the time slip by. She was maid of honor in our wedding and I cherish the memories with her.
