ObituaryINA MARIE ADKINS SANSOM
INA MARIE ADKINS SANSOM, 87, was called away by God on February 4, 2016, while at St. Mary's Medical Center after suffering from a long battle with Parkinson's and other physical conditions. She was the daughter of the late Mary and Cazzie Adkins. She was preceded in death by her husband, Enslow Sansom, of 56 years. She is survived by sons Linual (Patricia) Sansom and Trent Sansom and daughter, Linda (Okey) Gray, all of Huntington. Due to being unable to drive she stayed home and took pride in putting out big gardens, cutting grass and making sure every blade was even and not allowing a dandelion or leaf be left in the yard. She made sure her husband's clothes were starched and ironed down to his under clothing and socks. She stated she only missed preparing breakfast on two occasions during their 56 years. She is survived by grandchildren Aaron Nida, Vincent Blankenship, Mark (Mary) Sansom, Chris (Pam) Sansom, Tiffany Sansom, Gabby Sansom, John Light (companion Nina) and special caring nephew, Zachary Fletcher. She is also survived by brother, Carlos (Patsy) Adkins, and sister, Delephena Keesee; sister-in-law Lucille Nelson and brothers-in-law Herb Nida and Ernie (Ouida) Sansom. She was preceded in death by brothers and sisters-in-law Alfred (Emma) Adkins, Claude (Grace) Adkins, and sisters and brothers-in-law Willa Faye, Ethel (Larry) Adkins, Irene Nida and sister-in-law Thelma Adkins and grandson, Jordan White. She was also preceded in death by brothers-in-law Hiram Sansom, Truman (Margaret) Sansom, Erman (Phyllis) Sansom, Rev. James (Ed) Nelson and sisters-in-law Lucella (Ron) Jobe and Janice Gibson. Ina requested there be no flowers but make donations to the National Parkinson Foundation, National Down Syndrome Society or Gideon's International. Family wishes to extend our thanks to the Cabell Huntington Home Health and Hospice of Huntington for their care.
