May 30, 2020 at 2:10 pmIrene was a truly lovely woman. She always had style, grace, and a sense of humor. I always appreciated her warm smile, kindness, and the way she called me “dear” when working the front desk at Vista Springs. My sincere sympathy to her daughter Gilda and the rest of the family.

May 30, 2020 at 7:17 pmWe have such fond memories visiting or being visited by Aunt Irene & Uncle Wick. Aunt Irene was a very warm, kind, caring and helpful woman. I know she was looking forward to be with her husband again and all our family who’ve gone before her.
With much love,
Christi and Shelley Shaw

June 6, 2020 at 10:54 pmAs an Allstate Agent I was blessed to know Irene who was able to keep up with my sarcastic sense of humor. She made encounters with management manageable by her enjoyable sense of humor and keen instincts. When I ran into her at the grocery store a few years back she was young & vibrant and full of energy. I have only fond memories as Irene was a joy to know.
