Irene RENGER Obituary
Passed away at Broadway Pentecostal Lodge in Vancouver on August 19, 2017 at the age of 91. Irene was born in Kosow, Poland on January 16, 1926, the daughter of Otto and Mina Voellinger. She worked for a time in the Postsparkassenamt on Sonnenstrasse in Munich. In 1950 she married Karl Renger in Allershausen near Munich, and in 1951 they immigrated to Winnipeg. There they raised two sons and Irene worked as a star saleslady for Singer Sewing Machines and Eaton's Department Store. Upon Karl's retirement they moved to Vancouver and enjoyed living in False Creek and travelling the world. Sadly, she was predeceased by Karl in 2005, and also by her siblings Mary, Helen, Bill, and George. Irene was a wonderful, loving wife and mother. She is sadly missed by her two sons, Robert (Mi-Joung) and Fritz (Ping); and her grandchildren, Max Renger and Sonia (Andrew) Renger Mackenzie. Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, August 29, at 11:00 a.m. at Blessed-Sacrement Church, 3040 Heather St., Vancouver. Interment will follow at Ocean View Burial Park, 4000 Imperial St., Burnaby. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Irene to Parkinson Society Canada would be greatly appreciated.
