Irene was born in Piapot, Sask, moving to Vancouver Island where she met and married her loving husband, Lou in 1948.

She created a home where family and friends were always welcome to enjoy a meal, a drink AND conversation. Irene’s positive and upbeat personality reflected in her many involvements in the home and community.
