She looked forward to completing the daily crossword puzzle, enjoyed taking walks especially along the Cape Cod Canal, gardening, cooking, dancing and listening to music. Irene was a quiet, gentle, loving lady, and was devoted to her family. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind. She will be missed big time!
