Inara Biezais Febus, 74 of Elida, passed away peacefully in her home on May 15, 2021, after a two year battle with ALS, with her husband of 56 years by her side.

Inara was born July 22, 1946 in Wurzburg, Germany to Latvian parents, Janis Biezais and Nina (Jaunakais) Morley, in a displaced persons camp during WWII; her parents preceded her in death.
