She adored attending the annual May-Heath family reunion, talking and reminiscing with many of her 39 nieces and nephews. Inez was a faithful Christian who taught many years of Sunday school and volunteered with the Prepare a Meal program.  She was a member of Raysville Baptist Church.

As a homemaker, she loved sharing time with her family and taking care of them.

In 2002, she was awarded the McDuffie County Senior Citizen of the Year for her tireless volunteer efforts, including teaching reading for the Adult Literacy Program.
