Irene graduated in the early 1980's as a Licensed Practical Nurse, and worked for over 25 years in the Michiana area at nursing homes, Memorial Hospital, and in home health care before retiring in 1993 to care for her first grandchild. She was a dedicated and caring nurse who loved to help others in need, even while living at Golden Living Center. Her caring, considerate, kind and generous nature was ever present, and her one true love was spending time with her husband, children and grandchildren. She was a member of Victory Chapel Church, and enjoyed spending her free time crocheting, working crossword puzzles and collecting antiques.
