Jeltina "Ina" C. Slootweg

Jeltina C. “Ina” Slootweg, 91, passed away in Klamath Falls, Oregon on May 15, 2023.

Ina was born April 14, 1932 in Amsterdam, Netherlands to Jacobus and Juliana (Schoonbeek) Mos. She married Willem P. Slootweg on January 12, 1957. Ina was a homemaker and lived through WWII. She immigrated to the USA in 1968 and settled in Covina, Calif. raising 3 daughters. During her life she traveled to many places in the world and lived in Saudi Arabia for 2 years. During that time, she went to Cypress, Mallorca and Greece, which were some of her favorite places to visit. After coming back to the states, she worked for Rainbird Sprinkler Systems electronic assembly.

In 1985, Ina followed her youngest daughter to Oregon, enjoying camping, kayaking, floating down rivers, the coast and picking morel mushrooms. She read books every day, enjoyed wine and could even handle shots better than most. While traveling to Panama 3 times, she loved the beaches, the tropical weather and the people. Ina spent time with her kids, grandkids and great grandkids. She visited them many times every year. Watching dances with the little-ones made her smile so bright. She is having fun in heaven with all the family that has passed before, reuniting up with her best friend Margaret, who passed away last September.

Ina is survived by her daughters, Marjon Mos of Bocas del Toro, Panama, Yvonne (Bill) Shelton of Carson City, Nev., Renée (Tom) Wallenburn of Klamath Falls, Ore.; brother, Robert (Ellen) Mos of California; grandchildren, Anthony Auzenne, Chris Hinkel, Rachelle Summers, Matthew (Ila) Hinkel, Nicole (Curtis) Robinson, Lindsay (Jared) Rochelle; great grandchildren, Clara Auzenne, Destiny Summers, Alexander (Makayla) James, Anthony Falco, Olivia Falco,  Walter Hinkel, Clayton Robinson, Damara Robinson, Braelyn Rochelle, Taylor Rochelle; great-great grandchildren,  Josiah James and Noah James. Ina was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and a great-great granddaughter. She was very loved by her family and pets and will be greatly missed.
