On October 16, 1930, Irene was born in Kelowna, BC. Irene was a loving wife and mother of 4. She enjoyed playing bridge, crib, and many other card games. She also enjoyed the outdoors and adventures such as golfing, fishing, camping, and travelling to different parts of the world. She liked reading, and best of all she loved dancing with her husband Pete.
The family wishes to thank the staff at Mountainview Care Home for their kindness and hard work.
At her request, there will be no service, if you wish to send a condolence, post photos or share a memory, please scroll down the page to the area called “Condolences”.
Though I am happy that Irene is at rest, I am still sad to know she is gone. Her warm smile and great stories were certainly missed after she left Missionwood. Though I am now at Sandalwood and haven’t seen Doug & Maureen in quite some time, I still think of her and the family often. Sending my love & condolences to you all.
We were very sorry to hear of Auntie Irene’s passing. We heard from her regularly at Christmas until the last few years. I will always remember her unique laugh and sense of humour, She will be missed by many people I am sure, especially her children. Love and hugs to all of you cousins.
