Ina Peterson, 86, of Santa Maria, CA passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 26, 2015. She was born December 2, 1928 in Salt Lake City, UT. She moved with her family to Santa Maria in 1962, with her husband and five children. They moved to California to better their lives.
She had a very strong work ethic and loved to work with her hands. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
She was the second daughter of Dr. James Cutler Brinkerhoff, and Nellie Hamlin Murray Brinkerhoff Taylor. She was the third of six children. For the first 10 years of her life, she lived with her family in a rural area, where her home also served as the County Hospital. Her mother worked along with her dad as his nurse. After he died, Nellie took over the duty of being a Midwife for the County Hospital. When patients would come to the hospital, Ina would have to give up her bedroom for the patients. She also served as chief cook and bottle washer.
Ina was married to Harold Dean Peterson in Loa, UT, on February 23, 1946. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti Temple. They had six children together. She loved to read novels and go to Pismo Beach and Solvang. She had a very dry sense of humor and keen wit, never suffered fools, but would give a person the shirt off her back if they needed it. Surviving children are Edwin Harold Peterson (JoAnne) of Lake Point, UT; Michael Dean Peterson (Cyndi)of Murfreeboro, TN; Corinne Turner of Payson, UT; Karen McCabe (Ken) of Mulberry, AR and Stephen Lee Peterson (Janet) of Santa Maria, CA.
