Inis was born February 9, 1936 in Ashe County, North Carolina. She was married to her first husband, Albert Dale Pugh, on July 14, 1954. She and Albert had two children, Martha and Terry. They were married for 31 years, until his death February 11, 1986. She will be laid to rest beside him in Ebenezer Church Cemetery.

She was a devoted mother and grandmother, always doing acts of service for others. She worked as a waitress in several restaurants, including Bo-jo, Rancho, Myers', and Eldreth's/Ashley's. Her gifts as a care-giver, homemaker, and friend were also valued by several elderly over the years, as she cared for them in their homes and hers, and was a dear companion to them. Her concern for the well-being of everyone around her enabled her to touch many lives beyond her immediate family. When she was young she was a member at Ebenezer Presbyterian Church. In her later years she rededicated her heart to the Lord and attended Crum Missionary Baptist Church for as long as she was physically able.

Inis was married to Carl Lester Parsley September 15, 2001. They were married for nearly 17 years, until he passed August 19, 2018.

She is predeceased by her mother Bertha Bare Hall; father, Reed Farrington; first husband, Albert D. Pugh; second husband, Carl L. Parsley; brother, Marvin Hall; sister, Winnie F. Viers; niece, Karen Viers Blevins; nephews, Allen Viers and Pete Hall; step-daughter Shirley Baisden and step-son Terry Parsley.

She is survived by her daughter, Martha Pugh Greer and husband David; son, Terry Allen Pugh and wife Tiny J.C. Pugh; two granddaughters, Cindy Dyer and husband Jesse, and Amanda Harvey and husband Ryan; eight great-grandchildren; four step-daughters, Lora Campbell and husband Lenny; Phyllis Thompson and husband Greg, Rhonda Preston, and Jennifer Crum, as well as several step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren; former daughter-in-law and friend Betty Taylor.
