Irene Allington Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Haughey Funeral Home, Inc. on Jan. 29, 2026.
With great sadness, we announce the passing of Irene Allington, a loving mother, grandmother and friend to all whose lives she touched, on January 26, 2026. She was born on February 19, 1941, in Lithuania. She moved to the U.S. as a teenager and became a citizen in 1971. Her spirit is carried on by her family, and those who cherished her company.

Irene devoted 28 years of her life as a Gaffer for Corning Incorporated. Her dedication and commitment to her work were truly commendable, and her achievements remain an inspiration for all. In her leisure time, Irene found solace in the pages of books, knitting warm items for loved ones, and playing bingo. She was an avid viewer of Law & Order and other crime television series, a hobby that brought her much joy and relaxation.

Irene is survived by her son, Eric Allington and his wife Terri, of Campbell, NY; her grandsons, Trevor and Cooper Allington; and her brother, Rudy Krajcovic. Irene's kindness, love, and actions for her family and friends will indeed remain immortal.

At Irene's request, there will be no services held.

We encourage you to share your most cherished memories of Irene or light a candle in her honor on her memorial page. Please feel free to upload any photos, stories, or moments you experienced with Irene, as this will be a comfort to the family and a wonderful way to honor her memory.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I am so sorry to hear of Irene's passing. I used to live across from her and spent many happy hours in her company. After I moved we stayed in touch through Facebook. My deepest sympathies.
