While at San Jose State she met and married Stuart Inman who she was married to for 58 years. They eventually settled in San Jose where they raised five children. She was an amazing mother and wife who always put others first. A new job for Stuart with the Portland Trailblazers moved them to Lake Oswego, Oregon in 1969. Elinor faithfully served at Mountain Park Church as a Sunday School teacher, served in the nursery, and in any capacity where there was need.

She is survived by sister Norma Darley (San Diego), 5 children: Nanci Miller, Sandy Rasmussen, Janice Johnson, Carol Reid, and David Inman. She has 19 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her! In lieu of flowers please make donations to Luis Palau Association.
