In her younger years, she enjoyed bowling, skiing, and annual family travel to New Brunswick, where many of her siblings and their families still resided.

She would be remembered fondly for her great love of music and laughter! Irma was always very generous, especially to her family. She

was a woman of strong faith and supported her church as well as various charities. She was a big fan of the Boston Red Sox and she loved watching UConn Women's Basketball.
