Intelligent and diligent in all parts of her life, she began as an operator and was in management when she retired from the phone company at the age of 65. Never one to be idle, she then studied for and obtained certification as a paralegal. Ina was a faithful member of the St. Cecilia Parish. She had a passion for travel, activity and community. Before and after her retirement, she traveled often around the country, as well as throughout Europe and the Caribbean.
