Ina was born on March 26, 1935 in Claude, Texas to Gladys and Rhiny Kitzler. She grew up on the farm in Claude where she learned many skills that she carried and perfected throughout her life. Ina graduated from Claude School in 1953. She then married Bob Aduddell May 3rd 1954 in Clovis, New Mexico. She was a veteran in the United States Air Force before being honorably discharged due to injury. Ina was a jack of all trades. She could do just about anything and did it exceptionally well.

Ina loved the Lord and her family fiercely. She had a quirky sense of humor. She was a hard worker with many talents. Throughout her life, she could be found reading the Bible, milking the cow, feeding the chickens, planting a garden, quilting, crocheting, knitting, painting, making everyone in the family clothing, including 2 wedding dresses, canning or cooking all while taking care of her family. She also enjoyed decorating cakes, making all the kids birthday cakes and a few wedding cakes. Ina has made at least one quilt for every child, grandchild, and great-grandchild which would be a total of 35 quilts. She coached junior bowling at Western Bowl. She was famous for her elderberry jelly and hot rolls.

Ina was a great lady and will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.
