She was known to all for her sweet disposition, her bright smile, and her devotion to her family.
Irene was born and raised in Grafton, Massachusetts. She married her beloved Kosta in 1970 and together they started a successful grocery business there, the Village Dairy. During their almost 48-year marriage they traveled numerous times throughout Europe and across the United States, and they moved to Arizona in 1990.
Irene was happiest spending time with her husband, her stepchildren, and her extended family. She was an excellent cook who hosted many family dinners, and she always welcomed friends and relatives to her home. She also enjoyed crocheting and needlework, and playing bingo and canasta.
Irene is survived by her stepdaughters Christina and Elaine, and predeceased by her parents Frederick and Alice LeCour, her husband Kosta, and her stepson Steven.
Her family extends its gratitude to the staff of Faith Hospice, Red Mountain Reflections Assisted Living, and My Dr Now for their dedicated and compassionate care.
Viewing will begin at 10:00am and services will be held at 11:00am on Wednesday, November 11 at Green Acres Mortuary & Cemetery, 401 North Hayden Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85257.
