I have known Irene for sixty years. I remember her to be a faithful friend and a wonderfully dedicated wife and mother. We enjoyed many hours of sewing together, and Irene patiently helped me with projects. I am sad to hear of her passing and will miss the lovely chats we had on the phone. Deepest condolences to her family. ~Evelyn and Harold Helzer

Irene, I will totally miss you sitting in your corner seat at the Airdrie Pro Rodeo. You have always had time to stop and talk to me which I really appreciated .. You have more than earned your wings .. Hugs Barb Garnham Airdrie Pro Rodeo.

Thanks for your friendship Irene. I always felt better after a chat on the street with you.. I’ll miss that.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time

Sincere sympathy

Jean Hunter and family

Such a treasured part of the Crossfield community- she will be missed.

Sincere condolences to Irene’s Family. She was an incredible lady, always had time for a chat! Irene & Don were treasured life time members of the Airdrie Rodeo Ranch Association. The support from Don & Irene and their family over the years, was greatly appreciated.

I’m sure the reunion in heaven was amazing!

Irene managed the diversity in her life with grace, understanding, acceptance and positivity. Leaving a conversation with her made you feel the same! Hearing her converse with God was a treasure I will never forget. We will miss her greatly. We are so sad to miss her memorial service.

We will be forever blessed by our friendship with Irene and Don, which merged into some good times with the extended family over time. We met by chance in Arizona one winter, and the friendship grew with each passing year. We will miss seeing them, but they will always have a place in our hearts.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Irene. I live in the complex (Woodside) and enjoyed visiting with Irene . She was a classy lady, always taking such care of herself.

Marj, Marlene and family. I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom/grandma. She was a very special lady and holds a special place in my heart. I will always remember her cheerful greeting and smiling face whenever I came back to visit in the church. May you find comfort in the Lord and in all your special memories you share.

She was so treasured and respected, her passing leaves a giant hole in the fabric of our community.

So sorry to hear of Irene’s passing. We had so many great times over the years. Our condolences to all of the family
