Irene was a special person who brought so much life and love into our family! She is deeply missed! The obituary is so beautifully written and captures her spirit so very well. Her loving and mischievous twinkle and laugh defined so many family get togetherS and celebrations where Irene was there, John and John, Jr. please know she loved you both so very much. The whole world knew it — we saw everyday how she she beamed with love, admiration and pride when talking about you! Hope to see you soon in Michigan.
So sorry to hear of Irene’s passing, she was such a beautiful woman with a kind soul.
Praying for John and the rest of her family.

Irene and I met through baseball and St. Mary’s. She was a devout Catholic and devoted wife and mother. Not long after she became director , Irene recruited me for the board. I have many memories with her and our social worker Lee Hayes who passed away while serving. I think those two are having some laughs in heaven together. I said when Irene met our Creator, he said” well done my faithful servant.” She was a light for many. Her smile genuine. It was difficult when she said she was moving to Houston. Thanks for sharing her with us and may the peace of Christ be with you!
