faithful and dedicated member until declining health, she loved her church and church family. Irene never met a stranger, her contagious smile would light up the darkest room and her kind spirit could heal the darkest souls. Her personality was unmatched and to know her was to love her. Irene

enjoyed cooking, sewing and planting flowers around the house and yard. Irene was a devoted and wonderful wife, a magnificent mother, a generous grandmother/great grandmother, a supportive sister/sister in love, a awesome aunt, a caring cousin, a true friend and a
