Inez received her education at Tech High School and went on to build a successful career as a bartender at Sadie’s Place and as a dedicated waitress. Beyond her professional life, Inez had a deep passion for caring for “HER” goldfish and “HER” stray cats, finding solace and fulfillment in providing them with comfort and care.

Oh my 90 I have been looking for you for so long I have missed you and always loved you my friend my tech girlfriend I think we went to Highlands together but I so remember going to the bar playing pool walking down the road and just being best friends. I know we called you 90 because you could out-talk us all! And you once said to me why are you seeing Tucker Glen which I found out why and what you were telling me and I so listened to you. My mom loved you and she didn’t like a lot of people but you had the spark. I have been searching for you asking Facebook but no one ever knew. I so loved you we were right or die. We had each other and if you messed with one you got both. I wanted to tell you I married Mark Hickox I wanted to tell you about my kids who have all passed away Mark my husband and all three of my kids. I wanted to know about your life and your mom I so loved her and loved you. I so which we never lost contact. I remember you would meet me and I lived in Riverview and we would go to Lake Forest and go hang out with your mom go to Pic N Save and we always had a laugh. I so am sad for your family and my sweet friend you passed away on my youngest son’s Birthday. We were two peas in a pod. I never forgot you I have been looking for years and found you too late. While your in Heaven you will find my kids and my husband look for the tug Boat in the sky and I know you will ride that ride it is a tugboat of life and love hug my kids for me and I am sending you my hugs and my love. We don’t say goodbye we say TooT Toot to the sky. I have always loved you and will never forget you I never have so Toot Toot to the sky my girl I love you. I know you can see this God works in different ways forever my girl my friend Toot Toot to the sky.
