SIMPSON, Irene (nee O’Brien), passed away peacefully March 23, 2019 at Delta View Life Enrichment Centre in Delta, BC. Born September 27, 1920 in New Glasgow, N.S., she met and later married her husband J. Lowell Simpson in 1950. After many years in Dartmouth, they later relocated to Edmonton, Alberta.
Irene was a loving mother and devoted wife who greatly enjoyed cooking and hosting social events with family and friends. Other favourite pastimes included travelling, volunteering, playing bridge, and watching sports. Irene and Lowell spent their retirement years in Victoria and later, North Vancouver, BC where Irene was an active volunteer with PEO Chapter C, Highlands United Church, Lions Gate Hospital Auxiliary and Evergreen House. She enjoyed three years in Crescent Gardens Seniors Home (Surrey, BC), socializing and organizing evening get-togethers. In her final years, Irene was lovingly cared for by the staff at Delta View. No matter where her home, or what her age, Irene was known for her sense of fashion and a smile that lit up the room.
