Inez was born August 2, 1926 in Lincolnville, KS, to August B. and Mollie A. (Brunner) Gehrke. Inez married Paul Martin Frownfelter on February 5, 1949. They resided in Junction City, where she was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church.
When her sons were young she worked as an Avon Representative and later retired from Gibson's after twenty two years. Her true passion was her flower gardens. In 2003, she was recognized as Geary County Senior Master Gardener of the Year. She volunteered at her church for years caring for flowers. Up until last year, Inez still worked in her yard at the home she and Paul purchased in 1963. She was an avid supporter of Blue Jay football, music and theatre. Later she followed KSU sports. Productions at the C.L. Hoover Opera House would frequently find Inez in her designated seat.
