On April 18, 1943, Inez affirmed her faith through confirmation at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Giddings. Her confirmation verse was John 10:27-28. "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
