Inez Sutherland Arflin, 91 of Anderson, SC, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother went home to be with her Lord and Savior Friday, November 6, 2021, at her residence.
Born, in Anderson, April 1, 1930, she was a daughter of the late Ernest Henry Sutherland and the late Eloise Whitfield Sutherland. She was married to the late George F. Arflin.
She worked at the Haynesworth Plant in Anderson for 29 years. After her retirement from the cloth room, she began caring for elderly ladies.
Having been born during the Great Depression and one of 13 children, she learned early on the value of hard work, honesty, compassion, helping others, and faith. The same values she taught her children. She loved to cook. She never knew how many may grace her table, but she always had plenty. No one was ever turned away and no one left hungry. Sundays were her favorite day of the week. A chance to relax with her family and friends and to worship her Lord. She was a member of the Wellington Pentecostal Holiness Church and attended faithfully.
