My first meeting with Ina was, she was Miss Carey, she was my Home Economic teacher, such a sweet caring Teacher that all thought the world of as a example of being a classy lady. Then as years went on still I was using several of the things that she had taught us. I got to know her as Mrs. Hendrix, later she was Ina, we got to teach at the OVVS. together still the beautiful smiling lady that was given well deserved respect. She was a very good example of what a Christian lady should be. My deepest sympathy goes to her family that she loved so much.

So sorry to hear this sad news. Ina (Miss Carey) was my Home Economics teacher at MHS and she taught me so many things things that have carried into my adult life like how to write a "Bread and Butter" note, etc. The last several years we connected again and went to festivals together and spoke on the phone occasionally. My deepest sympathy to Jack and the entire family.
