OGDEN, UTAH - Our loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Inez B. Hill 88, returned to her Heavenly Father March 29, 2005 at Manor Care Nursing Home.

Inez was born February 13, 1917 in Mendon, Utah to Oscar J. and Elizabeth Stump Barrett. Inez married, her first love, James E. Barnard June 26,1937 in the Logan LDS Temple. After 24 happy years of living and working on the family farm in Deweyville and raising a family James passed away July 29,1961 at Deweyville, Utah. Inez married Ray M. Hill, her second love and a classmate from South Cache High, December 4,1969 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. After 25 happy years Ray passed away April 1,1994 at Wellsville, Utah.

Inez spent her childhood in Mendon graduating from South Cache High in 1935. After James's death, she worked briefly for Adams Drug in Tremonton, Smiths Food in Brigham and the IRS in Ogden. Inez was always active with church activities, and held many positions over her lifetime. She was called to serve as mission housekeeper while her older brother Ivan was Mission President of the Northwest LDS Mission. She loved the missionary environment, and later was called as a missionary to the Florida LDS Mission in Tampa. After Ray retired, he and Inez were called to serve a Mission to North Carolina on the outer banks at Harkers Island, North Carolina.

Inez was known for her cooking abilities, her beautiful quilts and the wonderful meals she served to family and friends. She spent countless hours collecting genealogy facts and histories. She loved to grow flowers and a vegetable garden was a must each year.

Inez is survived by her two children, Nadine (Melbourne) Grow, Deweyville, and Nolan J. (Carolyn) Barnard, Layton, four-step children, Richard J. (Jonie) Hill, Hyrum, Darwin R. (Larraine) Hill, Wellsville, Randall J.

Inez was preceded in death by one brother and one sister, Ivan J. Barrett and Mozelle Sorensen.
