So sorry to hear of her Passing , such a beautiful sole. Sending prayers to everyone that had the pleasure of knowing Inez.
I was saddened to hear of Inez’ passing. I think of her often when I look at the beautiful couch we were fortunate to buy from her when she moved from New Rockford. May the Good Lord be close to your family as you go through this time of sadness. Roger and Betty Westby
We purchased her couch when she moved out west, and I love having that memory of her in our home. She was always a gracious hostess when I stopped in for a little visit and a cup of coffee. I am thinking of you,and praying that the Good Lord will be close to you at this sad time. With much sympathy, Betty & Roger Westby, New Rockford
This is sad to hear. Inez was my neighbor for a few years and I totally adored her.
RIP Inez.
God got an other Angel! Inez was a beautiful Gracious woman! May God hold you all in the palm his hand as you go threw this time in your life
My dad, Slim Ferber, spent many hours visiting with his next door neighbors, Mike and Inez Pendergast. He could not have asked for better neighbors. On one of my trips to New Rockford I spent some time visiting with Inez. I am glad that I took the time to see her and to thank her for sharing some of her time with my dad. She was such a nice lady.
I was lucky to get to know Inez when she lived in Helena. My Dad Norm and Inez danced together at the Elk’s Club often. He grew up in Churchs Ferry, ND so they enjoyed talking all things small town North Dakota. We all missed her when she moved back to New Rockford. Dad passed away just a month before Inez. I hope they play Polka music in heaven.
