Ilene was a beautiful soul and as sweet as pie. She loved to do embroidery and do crafts. She also loved to go eat out and shop with her daughter and granddaughters. Her favorite animal was an elephant with its trunk up, and she often said it was good luck. Ilene was a nurse at the Medical Center for a significant time. She made the best biscuits and was always cracking jokes. She was a beautiful, sweet, loving, and caring woman and will be missed deeply by those who knew and loved her.

Ilene is survived by her children, Tamara Powell, Timothy Donovan, and Edith Donovan; grandchildren, Jason Parks, Jennifer Fulton, Jamie McMahon, Lisa Donovan, and Amanda Donovan; and great-grandchildren, Eastan Weyel, Lilliana McMahon, Emma McMahon, Adleigh Fulton, and Chaytiin McMahon.
