Irene Trautmann Obituary
It is with profound sadness that our family relays the news of the passing of our beloved Irene Marie Mahoney Trautmann on Saturday morning September 3, 2022.
"Renie", as she is known to those who knew and loved her, was a guiding light. A cherished daughter, sister, mom, aunt, godmother, wife and dear friend. Her amazing positivity touched all she met. Renie lived with the joyful, uplifting spirit of giving and service to others. If you were lucky enough to be in her orbit, you felt nothing but sunshine.
Born on April 13, 1963, Renie was a beautiful homecoming queen in her hometown of Southampton, NY. She brought her selfless gift of love and giving to Darien CT, her adopted hometown of over 30 years. Renie touched so many young lives as a dedicated music educator and advocate, a "DHS band mom", private piano teacher, past president of Darien Music for Youth, Community Volunteer of the Year, Sunday School teacher, and substitute teacher at Holmes Elementary School.
While doing all of the above, she raised a grateful family who were the center of her universe. Renie's passion guided her to evolve an earlier sales executive career into earning her real estate license and successfully join the team at William Pitt Sotheby's in Darien.
And, wow, could she hit a golf ball! As a member of Shorehaven Golf Club, she won many long drive awards and took her love of the game to the US Women's Golf Open at Sebonic GC to serve as a marshal.
Renie is survived by her husband, Carl. Her children, Nicholas, Ari and Andrew. Her Mom and namesake, Irene. Her siblings, Bill, Linda, Tim and John. Sister-in-laws Jaye and Jennifer and loving cousins, nieces, nephews and Godchildren.
We welcome all to her wake at the Lawrence Funeral Home in Darien, CT, on Thursday, September 8th, from 4pm to 8pm.
A mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. John Catholic Church in Darien, CT, on Friday, September 9th at 10am with a celebration of life at the Darien Community Association 274 Middlesex Road Darien, CT 06820 immediately following.

Carl and boys, I´m so very sorry for the loss of your lovely wife and mother. She was always smiling and always was so kind to me when I was at band rehearsals. I use to reference her such a saint which I truly believe anyone who had the chance to know her was truly blessed. Sending you love and light for comfort during the days ahead.
