Irene and Morris had four children, Debra Ann, Jacalyn, Julie and Jay. She was a longtime member of Pontoppidan Lutheran Church. Irene was active in many church circles over the years and valued the friendships she made. Her monthly birthday group meetings were special to her as it allowed her to celebrate and get together with friends.
Irene cherished and took great pride in caring for her family, especially her grandchildren. Many summers were filled with fun on Lake Lida. Her homemade meals and baking were a few of her many talents, but most importantly, her ability to make you feel loved and welcomed. She was a wonderful homemaker and hostess. Irene made sure if you came to visit, you left with a full belly and a warm heart.
