1940-2024)

It is with profound love, respect and sadness that the family announces the passing of Ina Price on May 8, 2024 at the Bowmanville Hospital after a long and valiant battle with several illnesses.

Ina was predeceased by her parents John and Leona MacDonald, daughter Sherrie Sarginson, brother Ian MacDonald, sister Cecilia and identical twin sister Enid Baird.

She is survived by her loving husband Wayne, sons Jason (Carrie) and Jordan and grandchildren Tyler, Ainsley, Chad and Brad.

Ina was born in Kirkland Lake, ON and attended KLCVI for her high school education where she was an A student throughout.

She then attended North Bay Teachers College, graduating in 1959, again with high standing. She began her teaching career with the North York Board of Education and then moved to Peel County.

She concluded her teaching in the Durham Board of Education where she taught special needs students at Vincent Massey PS. She was beloved by all of her students for her kindness and patience.

She retired in 1998.

Ina married her high school sweetheart Wayne Price in 1961 and they spent 63 wonderful years together. They raised 3 beautiful and caring children, Sherrie (deceased), Jason and Jordan.

In retirement they moved to Wilmot Creek Adult Community in Newcastle and met many wonderful friends there.

They also loved to go to their home in Lakeland, FL in the winters and entertained many friends there as well.

Ina was a beautiful singer and talented artist and even in her last days sang at night to the hospital staff. We are sure she is now singing with the angels. To meet Ina was to love her.

She always saw the good in people and never had a bad word to say about anyone.

Rest in peace Ina with your family and friends in Heaven.
