Irene graduated from St Joseph Catholic school in Atkinson where she was a member of the cheerleading team and drama guild.

Irene adored the town of Stuart and was involved in the Community Club, Parkside Manor Board, Village Manor Board, and Christian Mothers. She especially enjoyed her time at Tasty Foods Drive-In, visiting and working with the youth of the community and always supported them in their activities in Stuart. She was humble and kind and always had a smile and a kind word. She always opened her doors to anyone during the holidays, especially her favorite holiday, the Fourth of July.
She was fully committed to her faith in God, her family and friends, and she loved them all deeply. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were extremely special to her and brought her so much joy. She enjoyed camping with them at Fort Randall and their annual winter family ski trip. She was the rock of the family and the glue that held them all together. She always took pride in her appearance and carried it throughout her life.
