Though I never met Irene, I just found out from Marie (Azevedo)Spooner that Irene was my cousin (as is Marie). I called my older sister Mickey tonight and asked her about Irene. Mickey said she had seen Irene 3-4 years ago in Colusa at her namesake's (Irene Ferraiuolo)90th birthday. I'm sorry for your loss and for not having ever met Irene or any of the rest of you from the O'Leary side of the family. The photo of Irene reminds me a lot of my oldest sister Thelma (now deceased).
