Inna Petrovna Dimova

Inna was born in the Odessa region of Ukraine on December 14, 1990. Her family immigrated to Spokane Washington on March 12, 1998 and later to Rochester, NY. In 2006, the family moved to Charlotte, NC. She most recently resided in Mint Hill, NC with her parents Valentina and Peter Dimov. Inna unexpectedly went to be with the Lord, September 17, 2014 in a tragic accident. She is survived by her devastated family and friends. Inna loved her family dearly; her wonderful parents Valentina & Peter Dimov, her brother Oleg and his wife Natasha Dimova and their four children Ariana, Jacob, Victoria, and Benjamin. As well as an older sister, Marina and her husband Stan Ivanov. Stan was truly like another brother to her. Inna spent her last day taking care of her two year old niece Violetta Eloise, who adored Inna, and her last words to her were "wait, Inna, hug!" In addition to being a loving and caring aunt, Inna was also an amazing planner. Everyone knew that if Inna was in charge, it would be taken care of and it would be taken care of well. For her sister Tatyana's wedding, Inna poured her heart and soul into planning and taking care of the entire day, making it so special for Tatyana and her husband Cole Lindsey. The Lindsey family feels a profound loss of a sister, daughter and a granddaughter. Her presence cannot be replaced in our lives. Our hearts go out to the Bevis family. Jake Bevis was Inna's first and only love, and she was his. She has been in love with Jake since their first date March 7, 2009. Through all of life’s changes, High School, College and early careers Inna and Jake grew together both spiritually and emotionally. Their love was truly something special, and was incredible to witness from the side. We often joked that they were like an old married couple already. Inna and Jake were planning to wed next April and spend the rest of their lives together. Jake deeply loves her and the entire Bevis family including Rob, Janet and Aaron feel as if they lost a family member. Inna graduated in 2009 from Butler High School. After working at Outback for over five years to help pay her way through college, she graduated with a nursing degree from Central Piedmont Community College In December 2013. In March 2014 she began her dream career as a Registered Nurse. She truly loved what she did, no matter how hard it got sometimes. We know that all the staff as well as the patients on the 4th floor at CMC-Union will dearly miss her positive and exuberant presence. Inna consistently received WOW cards from patients who were so touched by her Inna planned to further her career and continue her education after her wedding. She had so many plans for life, so much yet to be done. Nothing can describe the pain that a young life taken away so quickly, brings to those around it. Something that Inna truly enjoyed the most this past year was the fellowship with her church and friends. She went to as many youth gatherings as she could, and tried to attend as many prayer meetings and choir practices as she could. Inna had a beautiful voice and would sing wherever she went. She brightened up the day of those around her with this great gift from God. Inna also really loved to read, she would read everything she could get her hands on, often exchanging books with those around her. Inna could be found reading the Bible or writing notes from church in her journal. She truly loved Jesus, and having a personal relationship with him was her main focus. In her journal, Inna left us a lyric that was on her heart in the last days. "Lord, I give You my heart, I give You my soul, I live for You alone, Every Breath I take , Every moment I'm awake, Lord, have Your way in me" Inna was immediately loved by all who came in contact with her. She welcomed all with an open heart and a warm and gentle spirit. She was loved by so many, and will be missed so much.
