Inez Verna

Ross

Inez Verna (Kim) Ross, 82 years of age, passed away on March 5, 2022.  The daughter of Irven Frank and Annie Ethel (Wilson) Kim, Inez was born in Oklahoma City on October 9, 1939.

Inez grew up on the Southside of Oklahoma City and worked as a hairdresser at several salons, including J.C. Penney's Salon in Crossroads Mall and Romar Salon.  Inez was a state champion on Quick Draw.  She and Richard built their home in Newcastle in 1994. Inez was a long-time member of the Woodland Hills Baptist Church.  Inez enjoyed playing cards, BINGO, bowling and shopping.  She especially enjoyed going out to eat with her "eating posse."   She was known by many as Granny Grunt and she would always attend the grandkids and great grandkids sporting events.  When she would run into someone, she would always point her finger at them and ask "Who are you?  I'm gonna give you a hoopin" in her best threating voice.  Inez will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Inez is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Richard Allen Ross, Sr.; and her sisters, Edith Sorensen, Lorene Athey, Viola Wilkerson, Joann Baird, and Lois Wilkerson.

Inez is survived by her sons, Tommy Ray Ross and wife Donna of Newcastle and Richard Allen Ross, Jr. and wife Penny of Tuttle; grandchildren, Chris Ross and wife Brittany, Richard Ross, III and wife Stephanie, Tim Ross and wife Melissa, and Tralena Bowman and husband Shane; eight great grandchildren, Rylee, Juel, Kennedy, Tatum, Kamryn, Brynlee, Tommy and Colton; several nieces, nephews, and other loving family members and friends.
