Let me say a very special thank you to everyone for your sweet, precious words and for sharing your many memories of Mom. She is going to be dearly missed. There is such comfort in knowing where she now is and with whom. Makes us all a little homesick, no doubt. Her light will shine in our hearts & minds every day. Blessings!

Charlotte, what fond memories I have of Irene: all during our high school years when she'd drive us to Garinger each day; she always dressed beautifully, had a lovely smile, a great sense of humor, and was always there to give us teenage girls some good life advice. I will treasure those times with you & Donna, and your mom forever. Irene the Bean. Much love to you and all Irene's family, Pam (Canipe) Austin

Thank you Irene for the inspiration you gave me in life on a journey for the fight of my life after I fell ill with liver failure Stage 5. You are constantly praying for me coming to see me, and you don't know how much you will be missed truly proud that have had to met you and known you you were a sweet sweet lady now wearing wings of angels with our sweet Donna Beatty Burney and daddy all dancing with Jesus today how jealous am I? Rest in peace beautiful woman I'll see you real soon!

Aunt Irene's passing is truly sad to our family. She was special in our lives, always so loving, kind, and caring. She was very interested in how we were all doing in our daily walks of life. We loved her and will miss her so much. She and some of her family graced many of our family gatherings through the years, and we always looked forward to them being with us. I am glad I had the opportunity to spend time with her these last 10 years while we have lived in Charlotte. She was a very special person to Mother--they shared many old time memories from days gone by. Aunt Irene and I have had many long conversations, always enjoying each others company so much. She is now at peace, absent from the body, and present with the Lord. God Bless.
Dixie and Bobby, and family
