Obituary of Inez Marie Armstrong

Inez Marie Armstrong, the daughter of Frank and Vera (Carrol) Camp, was born January 10, 1934 in Boone, Iowa. Inez worked at Thombert’s in Newton for many years as a mold handler. She loved her family and grandchildren and was always willing to help her family when needed. She loved being a foster grandmother. Inez worked for several years at the YMCA Daycare and was sad when her health would not allow her to continue.
