Irene was raised in Waltham and eventually settled in Natick. She worked at Kathryn Barton Nursing Home for many years as a nursing assistant and at French Packaging Services. She loved her family, going to bingo and to the casino, as well as gardening and pottery.
Irene leaves behind her children John Moran and his wife Jennifer of Natick, Lisa Downs and her husband Jeffrey of Stow, and Christine Brewer and her husband Jared of Natick. Her seven grandchildren will miss her: Jeffrey, Cody, and Rachel Moran, Tyler and Elizabeth Downs, and Isabella and Madison Brewer. Irene was also the great-grandmother of Phillip Sanders and Aeva and Amelia Moran. She was the sister of Yvette Novicki of Lincoln, RI and Bernice Caissie of Townsend, and the aunt of many nieces and nephews. Irene was predeceased by her brothers Norman, Roger, Francis, Laurie, and Michael.
A service will be planned at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations to The National Kidney Foundation at www.kidney.org
