I've known Irene for 65 years. She was an amazing person that would do anything for anyone. Irene was a hard worker, a great cook, an exceptional poker player, that loved horses and was a wonderful friend to all.  I have many fond memories of Irene that will always be with me. She will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to you, Sue and Tim. With love, Paula

My sisters and I met mother Irene on a cruise in 2018 with her daughter Suzzana and son in law Angelo. We call them family.  Mother Irene is the strongest,smartest and most outdoorsy senior I've met and she's pretty too! We will hold you in our hearts  and keep baking from the recipes you shared.  Enjoy God's gifts and wear your crown proudly. Love, Anette, Yulonda and Carla 

Irene was the only cowgirl we ever met and she had wonderful stories to tell.  We were lucky to spend lots of time with her over the years and we cherish those memories.  We feel a deep loss of a great lady.  Our  love and sympathies  are with you.

Dear Sue and Tim,
I was heartbroken to discover your mom had passed. She was such an amazing bright spot in our family. What an incredible life she led – her stories spanning from childhood to her golden years could fill volumes. Her fiercely independent yet warm and caring nature was endearing to everyone she encountered. I speak of her often as a testament to age just being a number. Her ever present genuine smile and unending quest for adventure will forever warm my heart. While doing a little searching around for pictures and stories, I fell upon a post from The Taffy Shop in Estes Park, one of her beloved Colorado destinations, and am sharing it here. Such a privilege to call her my great aunt! Cheers to you, Aunt Irene, your incredible life is forever remembered and honored. 
Sending peace and love,
The Weren family – Cherie, Josh, Gage, Zander and Avery


Howdy Sue & Tim; Where to begin? Almost every family celebration we had over the years had the presence of our dear friend, Irene. Heck, she was family to us! My son, Ryan, felt like she was his other grandmother because of the loving care he received from her. My mother and Irene were best friends for over 60 years, and what a pair they made. So much laughter and wonderful cooking followed in their wake. Irene's homemade chicken & noodles with dough gobs was a family favorite. And her key lime pie was out of this world. My father always teased Irene, but she could hold her own against him. He always said she was the best worker he had ever seen. And boy could she ride a horse! I credit Irene for teaching me how to ride and enjoy the backcountry on a horse. So I'm inclined to remember her on the trail with me sharing insights, stories, and laughter of the many people and places we've had the pleasure of knowing over the years. God bless her, and you, Sue & Tim.

Dear Susanna and Tim,  

I was saddened with the news of your mom’s passing.  She had a special place in my heart.  Adri and I share fond memories of her.  Her strawberry pie worthy of blue ribbons and the absolute delight of taking my young toddlers to meet her one afternoon long ago.

Fondly, Pat Jordan
