She shared news of their lives with people left back home.

Irene was a long standing member of the Edgeley United Church. She was a liftime member of the UCW. Irene was a steadfast member of the community and was at every function for many years. If there was a community function, Irene attended and faithfully reported the event.

Irene loved her cats, and there were many of them over the years. Every stray that happened to find their way into town, found a meal and a warm welcome at Irene's doorstep. They were indeed her family and her companions. When they wandered away, she worried. When they returned, she rejoiced.
