Inez was born October 16, 1905 in Territory that later became the

Amaranth, as well as membership in two sororities.

After retirement, she moved to Ruidoso, New Mexico permanently to 
operate and expand the summer business she and Heard had owned since 
1950. Inez sold the Tepee Cabins and Mobile Home Park in 1993.

Inez is survived by her daughter, Ruth Wiser of Las Cruces; three
