On December 30, 1950 she married the love of her life, James M. Riffle at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Hessville, OH. Jim and Irene had three children, Larry A. (Debbie) Riffle, Lou Ann (David) Hoiles, and David (Rachel) Riffle. She is survived by 8 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, and 6 great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband James, son Larry Riffle, and all her siblings and their spouses, Dorothy (Art Bruns) Hohlfelder, Edward (Dorothy) Hohlfelder, and Warren Hohlfelder.
Irene graduated from Woodville High School in 1943. After graduation she worked at the American Propeller Plant in Toledo, 2 years at the Auto Lite Plant in Toledo, and from 1945-1950 as S.E. Hymans Company in Fremont, OH. After her marriage in 1950 she became a full-time homemaker.
Irene was a member of the Woodville United Methodist Church where her ministries included Prayer Shawls, and assisting in working the funeral luncheons until 2013. She and her husband Jim, shared a passion for Blue Grass music and attended many festivals during their early retirement years. She would be playing her mandolin and Jim would play his guitar. She had many joys, but it was her family, especially her many grand, and great-grandchildren that brought her the most joy.
