Irene Caroline Seymour passed away on August 9, 2015 at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Roseville, Calif. Irene was 89 years old. Irene was a resident of Roseville Commons for the past year and a resident of Sun City Lincoln Hills for the previous 13 years. She had many friends in both communities. Irene was a long-standing member of the United Methodist Church in Lincoln and a soloist with the Gold Country Senior Band. She was also a volunteer at the Maidu Senior Center and Sutter Recreation and Respite Center. She was recognized as 2008 Placer County Volunteer of the Year and for the 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award from President Bush, having garnered more than 17,000 hours of volunteer endeavors. Irene’s friends, family, singing, volunteerism and her church were the center of her happiness and we are grateful she had them all throughout her long life.
Irene C. Inabnit was born in St. Louis, Mo. She later moved to the San Francisco Bay area and then later to Roseville, following her retirement from Kaiser Permanente in Oakland. Irene was predeceased by her first husband Robert U. McAnulty, her second husband, William (Bill) Heming and third husband, William (Glenn) Seymour. She is survived by her sons and their spouses, Robert (Bob) McAnulty, wife Evelyn and Richard (Ric) McAnulty, wife Marsha and her grandchildren Kathy, Brenda, Jenna and Evan. Irene was a great-grandmother of five.
At Irene’s request, no funeral will be held. Neptune Society has made arrangements for her ashes to be scattered in the San Francisco Bay, which she loved. The family would like to thank all who have helped Irene in life and during her passing. Special thanks to the staff and activities director(s) at Roseville Commons who made her last year one of the most special years she has had in a long time.
A Celebration of Life will be on Sunday September 6, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at the Maidu V Community Center.

Irene provided us with a great son-in-law, Ric, and was a most enjoyable addition to our family for the past 30-plus years. She will be dearly missed.
