As a young lady growing up in the Neck area of Jackson on a farm, she loved to cook and a vegetable lover was she. Salad was one of her favorites.

Inell was a very strong woman, who could take a lot, a very lot, yet she was a devoted loving mother and father... grandmother to her family. She gave love and was loved.
