Irene was a loving and devoted mother to Thomas (Maria), Michael (Helena) and David (Geraldine). She was also the beloved grandmother to Ashley, Kristen, Brittney, Amanda, Jessica, Christopher, Julia and Sarah and proud great-grandmother to Bailey, Avery and John Thomas.
Irene was predeceased by her husband Sylvester, son Edward and granddaughter Rachel.
Irene loved all animals and the neighbourhood pets knew where to come when they wanted a treat. She even had a pet squirrel or two that would visit daily for their peanuts. She enjoyed being outdoors in her garden and loved when the grandchildren would come over and help her pick the vegetables to take home. She loved to cook for her big family especially her famous polish dishes such as her cabbage rolls, kapusta, shish-kebabs, pickled herring and apple cake. She also loved to sew and would put her own special touches on all her clothes by sewing on embellishments like bling and flowers.
A private family service will be held at Coutts Funeral home in Cambridge and Irene will be laid to rest at Assumption Cemetery, 6933 Tomken Rd, Mississauga on Saturday October 17, 2020.
