Friends may pay their respects on Thurs., Sept. 3, 2015 at the McGilley & Sheil Chapel, visitation from 6-7:30pm and Memorial Service beginning at 7:30pm.

Irene’s greatest passion was nurturing & mentoring her family followed closely by shopping at thrift stores in search of bargains with her son, Robbie.
