Irene was born on a farm in Saskatchewan where she began her teaching career in a one-room schoolhouse in 1951. In the summer of 1960, Irene and family moved to Keremeos where she taught until her retirement in 1996.
Irene was passionate about her community and her many interests including travel, line dancing, singing and music, serving as president of the South Similkameen Singers and Bell Ringers. Golfing, softball, swimming, community volunteering and spending time with friends fulfilled her life. Mom filled her life daily with what she loved.
