Born in Guyana, South America on October 21, 1916. Inez worked for the Guyana Air Force Base as a General Worker.

She worked for Winnipeg Child and Family Services as a homemaker. In 1993 she proudly became a Canadian citizen, and on November 9, 1996 married Thomas Nanton. Inez lovingly assisted in raising four grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and 10 nieces and nephews. She also developed a very large family on her own, adopting almost anybody she met. Although family always came first, Inez also enjoyed her church, her church choir, travelling, especially her many trips back to Guyana, doing word search, singing, watching Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Let's Make a Deal and The Price is Right. Inez has been blessed with many special friends who became her adopted children: Gwen Smith, Sylvia Gray, Phyllis Warner, Rose and Rob Falk, Marge Watson, Barbara Torka, Dr. and Helen Marsh.
