Irene attended Westville schools.  She worked at Bob Ross’, Zellers, Metropolitan, and Grants Glass.  She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for years holding many positions.  She loved to quilt and made beautiful ones for family and friends and also donated them to the church and people in need.  She also kept herself busy crocheting and knitting.
