Irene M. Myers (Caubet) passed away after an extended illness at her home in Marin, CA, with her daughters by her side.
Irene was born in Dearborn, Michigan, to Jean B. and Claire (Bizet) Caubet. She attended Lowrey High School, and was a 1964 graduate of the University of Michigan (BS in Design), where she was also a member of the Sigma Kappa Sorority. She began her career as an elementary school art teacher, and continued her creative development through involvement with the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Association, and later at her own art studio.
Irene was an artist, visionary, original thinker, and a theorist. She sought out patterns and truth in her quest to better understand the universe around her. She discovered yoga in early adulthood, and became a devoted and engaged lifelong practitioner.
Irene was always curious, an avid reader and lifelong learner. At age 50, she earned her pilot's license, simply because she "wanted to learn how to fly," and she enjoyed aerial photography and exploring Earth from this heightened perspective.
She was known by her family and friends for being very caring, generous and supportive, and she was an active and contributing member to her surrounding community.
An accomplished cook, she suffused her family with an appreciation of excellent, unpretentious cooking, as well as a high regard for dark chocolate.
Irene was a loving and devoted wife of 42 years, and was predeceased by her husband, William Darryl Myers, (2007) and her granddaughter, Caroline Janine Kubr (2008). She is survived by her daughters Denise Myers and Renee (Mark) Matossian; sister Claudette (Greg) Rebant; brother-in-law Terry (Donna) Myers; grandchildren Daniel, Julienne, Ariane, Avia and Kalina; nieces Rachelle (Guillermo) Lopez with children Lauren and Brian, Raegan Myers, Erin (Alex) Cooley; and nephews John Rebant, and Brian (Allison) Myers with children Mackenzie and Dylan.
A Celebration of Life memorial service for Irene will be held at 11:00am on May 5, at Old Saint Hilary's Church in Tiburon, California. Transportation will be provided from the parking lot @ Beach Road and Tiburon Blvd.
A special memorial fund has been set up to benefit Irene's wonderful in-home care givers from the Gentle Care Agency. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made via Paypal to: [email protected].

Irene and I were locker mates at Lowrey High School. I missed Irene's sweet nature and murmured french language. Shocked by her early passing, I regret that we lost connection. Thank you for the obituary. Claudette may remember me. I am sad, too.
I, too, live in CA, Hermosa Beach.

I am so saddened to learn of Irene's passing. I was her sorority sister in Alpha Mu chapter of Sigma Kappa at the University of Michigan. In fact, she was my Big Sister and roommate at one time. (I still have the pledge paddle she gave me at initiation.) Irene was vivacious and cheerful and a bit of a procrastinator on some of her art projects. I remember helping her finish a hand-hooked rug for one class that she had already pulled two all-nighters on! Another great class assignment was designing a promotional packet for Detroit's bid for the Olympic Games. She was so creative and versatile! Most of all, she was a dear friend and very supportive when I needed a shoulder and an open heart during rough patches.

Once she graduated we lost track of each other. In one of those incredibly "small world" coincidences, I saw her name when I read her husband's obituary in the Detroit papers and later asked my ophthalmologist (Les Siegel) if he knew them. Not only did he know them, but he had been partners with Dr. Myers! I was able to get some contact information for Irene and called her to arrange a get-together, but that turned out to be the day before she was moving to California, so we never did manage a reunion.

Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. Irene was loved by everyone in the sorority house and has always held a special memory in my heart. I'm sure your memories of this dear lady will last forever.
