Inez Bergero Standifer, 86, Noblesville, also known as “Bootsie” to friends, died March 5 at Riverview Health. She was born Sept. 8, 1929 to Celestino and Annie (Tomko) Bergero in Wise, Va.
Mrs. Standifer had a daycare in her home for many years, and now, all those children have grown children of their own.Taking care of babies and toddlers was a passion of hers.

She enjoyed hearing her canaries and finch birds sing, with her dogs next to her side.
