Irene was a remarkable woman who always found time for others, particularly family and close friends. She was always there for her grandchildren and loved spending time with them, whether at the farm or out in the community. Irene was so very easy to be around and made everyone in her presence feel welcome. She had a natural way with children, and her patience was something to inspire all those who spent time in her company. No doubt Irene will be missed by all those who knew her, but her memory is sure to live on. - Posted by: Robert Henderson (son-in-law) on: Jun 12, 2017
