Passed away peacefully on November 17th 2021 with her family at
her side.
Born in 1933 in Sherbrooke Quebec to Lorne and Violet McCone,
Irene's artistic talents emerged at a young age. She exhibited this flair for art
throughout her life in her paintings and ceramic creations
which she shared with family and friends. Books were a close
companion to her from early on and remained a source of entertainment
for her and anyone who loaned out reading materiel from the 'Lafond Library'.
After a successful career she and her husband of 62 years Guy spent summers
at the lake and winters in Hawaii or Florida golfing.
A loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother she will be deeply missed.
She was predeceased by her husband Guy and leaves behind her
brothers Ronald and Ernest, sister Carol, her children Stephen, Linda,
Richard, Cynthia, Donald, 10 grandchildren and
7 great-grandchildren.
Irene's family would like to express their gratitude to all of the staff
at the Lakeshore General Palliative Care unit for their extraordinary
care during Irene's final weeks.
Visitation will be held from 10AM -12PM on Sunday, November 28
at Collins Clarke MacGillivray White Funeral Home at 222 Autoroute 20,
Pointe-Claire, QC H9S 3X6.
