The last few years Grandma had been enjoying herself at the Willard Healthcare Center. There, she was a part of the Welcome Commitee, a member of the Red Hat Society, and a champion bowler on the Wii. She loved all the activities there. She loved being with her family and spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. When she was younger she enjoyed making quilts with her mother and thoughout the years she collected many thimbles. Grandma made many friends where ever she went, especially at the nursing home.
Grandma will be greatly missed by all!
Written by her broken-hearted daughter and granddaughters.

Inias was the very first person to welcome my mother to Willard Healthcare. Mom was very frightened at first, but Inias came in and spoke to her, put her arm around her, and prayed with her. Mom felt better recognizing a familar face in the dining room that night and sat at her table. Inias was a blessing to all of the residents, staff, and family there. Always a smile and never an unkind word. She touched my heart and I will never forget her.
To all my dear family. My deepest sympathy to all. Aunt Inias will be greatly missed. You will hold your loving memory of her forever. It’s like my daddy died just a few weeks ago (Delmer Hamilton ) but it’s several years now. The love never fades even over the years. I know Dad and Grandmaw Hamilton was right there to hold her hand and rejoice in her coming, while here it left us with heavy hearts. Send my love to everyone. Love Teresa
Aunt Vonda an Family,
We asked that God provides you comfort
an peace we know its hard but with the grace An love our lord provides just knowing you meet again is comforting.love you all.
Inias was such a sweet lady! I had the privilege of knowing her at Willard Healthcare. She was so very kind to my mother even though my mom was in her later stages of Alzheimer’s and could not respond to Inias’ kindness. Inias loved to sing the hymns, and I feel blessed to have known her. May the sufficiency of our Savior sustain you through this loss. I’m sure Inias and my mom are enjoying themselves beyond our understanding.
To the family of Inias,
My mother Glenna Meeks was at Willard Healthcare 7 years ago. Inias and my mom enjoyed the weekly trip of eating out somewhere. They did not care where just so they were eating out.I can still see her face when we brought in the lamb and Inias held it, her face lit up!!
I have helped after my mom passed away with bingo when the Attica Garden Club came once a year, this last time we came her and I talked about my mom we cried and smiled knowing she was one of the last ones there when my mom was still there. It will be nice to know my mom can see her again. Godspeed
OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO AND YOUR FAMILY WE
KEEP YOU IN OUR PRAYERS
