Connie grew up during the war years in New Liskeard and was introduced
to the love of nature and outdoor activities by her sportsman
father, Sam
EPLETT, owner of Epletts Ice Cream. She had her own
horse at age 12 and became a skilled horsewoman. At war's end
she met the love of her life, a war-time pilot, Bill
INCH, and
as soon as he finished law school he married Connie and commenced
practicing law with Connie's uncle, George
MILLER, with the Sudbury
law firm Miller, Maki.
She was an avid curler and once represented the north in national
curling championship. During the time she was raising their six
children, she gave many hours to the Red Cross and other charities
related to Children's Aid.
Her annual getaway was to go moose hunting with the boys. She
was a loyal Progressive Conservative party worker in many campaigns.
In later years she took on the management of the Towne House
Hotel owned by her husband and business partners. To add a challenge,
she bought a farm which later became an established equestrian
facility in Chelmsford, Ontario, currently owned and operated
by her daughter Cathy and her husband Rick.
Throughout her life she was a popular hostess who knew the words
to all the songs of the day and could whip up a meal for a dozen
people at a moment's notice. Connie will be remembered by all
who knew her for her vibrant personality, exuberant love of life
and her incredible organizational skills. She shot from the hip
and rarely missed.
