Irene W. Phelan

I look across my street each morning expecting Irene to come out and tend her flower garden. Her daughters have taken that job, and maintained many of Irene's legacy perennials. We are so lucky to have known Irene. She is missed and often remembered warmly.

I taught with Irene at Assumption for many years! She was a wonderful teacher and a most wonderful lady! Her students always loved & respected her. She will be missed by all who loved & knew her!

The bright flowers blooming in Irenes garden have reminded us of her smiling face all through the years since her passing. They are faithful sentinels of the spirit and generosity of our beautiful neighbor.

Amy and Dave,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. May your many wonderful memories sustain you in the months ahead. Your mom lived an exciting life.

My sincerest sympathy,
Ellen Eismeier

Through our dear friend, Mary Beth, we had the wonderful opportunity to meet and know Irene BonBon Phelan.
One of our fondest memories was going with Irene and Mary Beth to her senior aerobics class. What a bundle of energy Irene was.
Of course, Irene would always have a special treat for us during our visits. The chocolate chip cookies were our favorite food, but the best were the conversations on subjects from politics to sports.
We will always hold dear her spirit and...

So sorry to hear. What a wonderful woman. She taught me, my Mom, my aunts and my younger brother at Assumption School. She will always stand out as a highlight in all of our educations. I still remember tag while standing in the hula hoops and playing on the scooters. Thanks Mrs. Phelan.
