Ines was born in Serra Pedace, Cosenza, Italy on June 22, 1940 and grew up in nearby Spezzano Piccolo. She immigrated to Revelstoke, British Columbia in 1961 at the age of 21, where she worked in a laundromat and as a chambermaid. She spent her time gardening, cooking, and among friends, family, and her Italian community. Ines’ garden was her greatest hobby and flourished with every fruit and vegetable imaginable. 

On February 26, 1964, Ines married Vincenzo (Vince), and together they raised two sons, Guiseppe (Joe) and Robert. It was through her sons’ accomplishments that she was made most proud. Her three grandchildren, Vincent, Ashley, and Talia were her world and she always took great delight in spending time with them. 

Ines is survived by her two sons, Joe (Lori) and Rob (Lisa); and three grandchildren, Vincent, Ashley, and Talia; sister, Antonietta Federico (Luigi); brother, Raimondo D’Ippolito (Anna); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
