Louise INMAN

1940 - 2025

Dec 1, 2025

In Loving Memory of Louise Inman, who passed December 1st, 2025. Louise was born March 5th, 1940, in Madera, CA, to Robert and Retha Inman. Louise met Tony Dinatale in Morgan Hill, CA, on October 5th, 1958, and they married September 3rd, 1959, when Tony was 18, and Louise was 19. They had three children, Michael, Janet, and Krista. Michael was born severely disabled and passed away from intestinal complications at 11 years old. Around 1971, Louise and Tony moved to Spokane, WA, from CA. They were married approximately 16 years.

Louise worked at Dellen Wood Products and did house cleaning jobs for a year. She later worked for Bayliner and then Acra Fab, which is a precision metal company, until retirement in 2002. She lived in Newman Lake for quite a few years and loved gardening. She totally landscaped her yard until it looked like a jungle. She lived there until she retired and moved to a condo in Spokane Valley, where she continued her love for gardening in a much smaller area. She also loved animals. She loved feeding the raccoons, deer, and birds as well as her cats, Itsy Bit and Gray Boy.

Louise remained very sharp even until her passing. She was an avid reader of romance novels and the newspaper. Louise enjoyed going out to lunch with her best friend, Cathy Schumacher of 46 years. She also looked forward to sharing lunch with her sister, Betty Fisher. She loved talking on the phone with her brother, Gene Inman, from CA.

Even though she stayed home most of the time, people warmed up to Louise when they met her, and she knew no stranger. Her favorite saying was, "Everything is going to be okay."

Louise was preceded in death by her latest husband Jim Johnson; and her son Michael. Louise is survived by daughters Janet Dinatale and Krista (Toby) Storlie; her sister Betty Fisher; and grandson Cameron Dinatale.
