No fuss Nezzie. As a regular guest in the Poconos and at many meals initiated by Ed and Inez, we saw and experienced how down to earth and welcoming she/they were. She gave the impression that her home was as much ours as hers and she was as happy we were there whether she personally invited us or not. She was gentle, sharp, interesting, unassuming and fun.

Our sincere condolences to Ed and all the Donley family. May your faith sustain you at this difficult time.

Our condolences to Ed, Tom and your whole family.
Inez was a remarkable woman.

For 17 years, I was the Air Products employee who lived nearest to the Donleys. Their 27th Street home was large, yet modest compared to homes of some other company senior executives. I was impressed to regularly see Inez Donley scrubbing her front steps. She wasn't too proud to be seen doing honest work despite her obvious wealth.
