It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Irene. She was born on January 26, 1941 in Spirit River, Alberta.
Irene lived 79 years with endless love for her husband Douglas of 58 years, her 3 children Debi, Kim (Barry), and Doug (Tammy), as well as 5 grandchildren, Tasha, Douglas, Logan, Ben and Anthony.
Irene was many things to many people but above all she was kind, caring, funny and a great story teller. She loved travelling coast to coast, going on many ocean cruises, Las Vegas, and being a snowbird in Yuma, Arizona.
She was a dear Wife, Mother, Granny and a friend and will be lovingly remembered by all.

Dear Doug and Family,
