She is preceded in death by her six siblings; husband, Robert; daughter, Bonnie; son, Robby; grandson, Bobby; and granddaughter, Brenda.
Irene is survived by her daughter, Debra (Edwin) Nelson; sister, Dorothy; grandchildren, Jerred, Zachary, and Krista, Ronda, Shane, April, and Christie; seventeen great-grandchildren; and ten great-great-grandchildren.
She was a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker. During World War II, she held a front line factory job; proudly supporting the troops and our county. She worked with Meals on Wheels, housekeeping, and other volunteering jobs to assist and care for the elderly. She was involved with Democratic Farmer/Labor Party and always thought of others.
Irene enjoyed time with her friends and family. She was an avid hiker, loved having picnics, and enjoyed baking delicious home made cookies. She was especially known for her singing and playing country music on her guitar. She began dancing in her 70's with the "Dancing Grandmas", and shared her joy with everyone she met. Her light and memory will be cherished forever.
Thank you to the staff of Shores of Lake Phalen and Elk Ridge Memory Care for their dedication and tender care for Irene.
