She was born in the Bronx, NY to Fred and Connie Storay, and attended Public School 15 and the Ursuline Academy before graduating from Rosemont College. In addition to her parents and her sister Jeanne, Ina is predeceased by her beloved husband Joe McNeely, together with whom she raised ten children.

She also served on the Woodloch Springs Golf Committee, co-chaired many of the golf league tournaments, and enjoyed her share of rounds on the course where she lived and elsewhere, even recording a hole-in-one on two separate occasions. In addition to golf, Ina always enjoyed her many travels throughout the United States and around the world, including visiting all 7 continents.
