A graduate of Byars-Hall High School, Ina excelled on the basketball court where she earned the nickname “the Blonde Terror”. She was twice named Miss Tipton County. Following graduation, she began modeling for Goldsmiths Department Store in Memphis. In 1955, shortly after the death of her first husband, Clarance T. Poindexter, Jr., Ina traveled from Tennessee to Hollywood, California to visit an aunt. Ultimately she moved to the city after several promising auditions. In 1956, Ina was named one of the Wampus Baby Stars. During her time in Hollywood, she performed at the Pasadena Playhouse alongside other actors, including a young Clint Eastwood.

On August 8, 1958, Ina married John Barret Ashley of Dyersburg, Tennessee. Ina embraced a new Christfilled life in Dyersburg, thanks to the fellowship of several close friends. She had a passion for lost souls that led her to start Bible studies and witness to all who would listen. Ina was active with and loved her church family at Holy Hills. During her later years, she moved to Nashville to live with her daughter and son-in-law. Her love for people and the gospel brought much joy as she gathered with new friends, acquaintances, and a new church family at Nolensville Road Baptist Church.
