Obituary of Inez Flowers

On July 31st, 1932 the Evans family gathered and rejoiced, for that day a baby girl named Inez was born to the late Leroy Evans and Mary Ann Evans. On Sunday, August 2nd the Lord whispered softly to Inez “well done thy good and faithful servant come on up a little higher.” Inez was born in Blenheim, S.C. and where she went to school. It was in Blenheim, S.C. where she met her first love, who became her husband the late June Pratt who preceded her in death. From that union came four loving children, a set of twins Alton Bernaise (Preacher), and Alton Bernard (Buddy) a daughter Daisy Mcelderry and a son Frank Pratt. Inez later moved along with her family to Bennettsvile, S. C. Inez accepted Christ as her personal Lord and Savior at an early age as a result of her mother instilling in her how good God is. Inez joined the Pee Dee Baptist Church in Bennettsville, S.C. where most of her family attended. Inez stayed a member of Pee Dee Baptist church until she moved to Brooklyn, New York.
