Obituary of Eleanor Inness

1940 - 2013

Eleanor Innes passed away on Thursday, March 28, 2013 in Cranbrook at 72 years of age. She was born on July 16, 1940. She was a very special lady to so many people. She started her career as a Dog Groomer with Anna May Gartside at the Clip Joint. She then opened up her own grooming place down town known to all as Pretty Pooch. Snooks was her nick name to many people. She was a volunteer at the red-cross and also did a lot with the SPCA.

Snooks had a love for animals; it didn't matter what kind or size. Her dogs and her horse were most special to her. She was an animal whisperer, loved camping, fishing and hunting or anything outdoors. Her new love became field trials with her horse, and Keith her husband, and she always looked forward to going to trials in the USA and Alberta where she met amazing friends, and was known as Fast Eddy.

Snooks is survived by her husband Keith Inness, son Terry Lode (Bev), daughter Kim Boggs (Glen), and daughter Robin Pinchak (Clayton). She also leaves behind numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren that meant the world to her.
