Irene C. Mercurio, born June 3, 1924, lived a life full of giving to others.Perhaps that is why she loved Christmas time so much. Her beautifully appointed Christmas trees were always decorated with great care, much as she grew her own family tree with love and devotion. From every pound cake she baked from her heart to each crocheted blanket she stitched with love, she dedicated her life to caring for her family. Having lived a full life as a devoted wife, loving mother, adoring grand & great-grandmother, benevolent aunt, sister and friend, Irene died on March 29, 2018, leaving so many to grieve her loss while they celebrate the gift of her life in their lives.
