Irene, Well dear old friend, we shared a lot of fun and laughter with you an Ebb. Many golf games and many , many jokes. You always had a great memory for telling a joke. I remember your quick and hearty laugh. I will keep the image of your smiling face before me. Hope you and Ebb are playing golf and get a hole in one in heaven. betty and ron bottemiller

I loved both Eb and Irene. They were wonderful people. I especially enjoyed Irene whenever I came to visit my parents. My children considered Irene their other grandma. She will be missed. I will especially miss the before dinner glass of wine we used to share.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother, Irene. She was a wonderful, warm, loving lady who was a very dear friend. Eventhough I had not seen her in several years, she was in my thoughts a lot. I knew both her and your father, as well as your uncles Steve and Bob. Bob, my mother and I were close friends and he was almost like my "big brother." We even worked together at Harbor Lanes. I knew Irene & Eb for many years through bowling, and through The Anchor that was owned by my family and I worked there as well; Arnie was my cousin. She was just such a very dear and beautiful lady in every sense of the word- a "true lady". She will be remembered always by those who knew her. My sincere condolences during this difficult time. Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers.
