She loved playing the piano, baking her delicious sour cream pound cakes, she played the piano for Westside Church of the Nazarene, and Oakhill Church of the Nazarene, Played for a Church in Lawtey Fla. Her and Charles would host a group of friends and family once a month to sing, fellowship, enjoy delicious food and to praise God, she would invite everyone that she could. She was always willing to help anyone that needed help. Her love and devotion to Christ was always her top priority and then her everlasting love for her entire family was in the forefront in everything she did. Her early childhood was full of love from her mother and father and her brother. Though a disease created challenges for her in recent years, her faith and devoted caregiver, her niece Roxanne Capehart together met those challenges with grace and dignity. Her LORD and savior Jesus Christ enabled both to move forward and give them spiritual guidance to meet the health obstacles they both faced.

Now Irene is singing in heaven with her beloved mother and father and reuniting with her beloved husband Charles A. Crauswell. Well done thy loyal and faithful servant.
