I was sorry to see that Irene passed away. I have many fond memories of all the years she and I volunteered in the information booths at Federated. She was always a friendly face for everyone to see as they came into church. You girls were always to attentive to her. I know how much her family meant to her. She will be missed by you all and all of those who were fortunate to have known her. My heart and prayers go out to you.

To the family of this dear lady - I worked with Irene at IDPH for several years before she retired. She always had a smile and kind word for everyone she met. She spoke proudly of her family. I know she will be greatly missed but she will always be smiling down upon you.
