October 24, 1926 - April 23, 2019
Corrine Catherine Irby of San Antonio Texas, age 92, passed away peacefully April 23, 2019.

She left behind a hell of a lot of stuff to her daughters, who have no idea what to do with it.

Somehow, they will deal; that 35 year in the making garage sale just hasn't happened yet.

She was renowned for her know it all, lack of patience, quick dry wit, take no prisoners, tell it like it is. We love her deeply and will miss her as a true force of nature. Her heart was big, and she would do anything for her family whom she loved so much.

Corrine grew up in a time when women were not encouraged or privileged to pursue their talents and realize their fullest potential. And yet, she became an artist. Corrine was a talented illustrator and painter, often creating gifts from the heart.

She hated cooking but loved to eat. It was her favorite pastime along with spending time outdoors tending her gardens.

She was devoted to her church and God and spent many hours in evening prayers, sometimes declaring that she didn't even have enough time for all the prayers she had to pray. In this way she was never alone. If you're reading this or have heard of her celebration of life, chances are, she prayed for you.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Harry, of 54 years; two sons, Michael and Jim; her parents Lillian (Bruno) Badaracco and Joseph Badaracco; brothers, Joseph and Leroy Badaracco; sisters Maryann Van Zandt and Gloria Harrell.

She will be sorely missed and is survived by her daughters, Beverly Churchill and Nancy Lovely and husband David; grandchildren Sam Lovely and wife Shanda; Sara Mahoney and husband Bryan; Joseph Lovely and wife Samantha; Chase and Summer Churchill; great grandchildren Crosby, Nannette, and Charlotte, and two step great grandchildren; sister-in-law Mary Irby numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, other loving family members and many friends.

All are invited to pay their respects during calling hours from 6pm to 8pm on Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at Porter Loring on McCullough.

Nancy and Beverly our deepest condolences on the loss of your mom. I have fond memories of her taking on the Atlantic Ocean on her terms on Cape Cod. The laughter and joy that was so contagious on the beach because of her was wonderful. She was a lovely and strong woman. I am happy I had those moments with her.

Sorry for the loss of your beautiful Mom. So glad y'all were out neighbors. Mrs Irby brought us one of our closest friends in Nancy to spend our days growing up together. So many fun days back then. Love to Nancy and Beverly and Family at this difficult time.

I did not know Mrs.Irby personally , but consider her daughter Nancy one of my closest friends. I got to know Mrs Irby through Nancy calling her from work. Mrs. Irby was a lady in charge of her life and was going to do it her way. Nancy my prayers are with you and Beverly.

I will miss Mrs Irby. She was a special lady, always had that beautiful smile and had a great sense of humor. She gave me one of my best lifelong friends. I loved spending time at her house and enjoyed her company.

Aunt Corrine we all miss you. We enjoyed having you at our home during the holidays. Just seems like yesterday when we were playing "Are you smarter than a fifth grader." Aunt Corrine we all know that you are with your Lord and savior Jesus Christ, so now you are finally home in HIS arms.

I didn't know Corrine personally, but heard a lot about her through Harry's friends and Co-workers. I heard a lot of their arguments were settled by her butcher knife. LoL these friends of mine, who grew up in the same neighborhood, always talked about those good looking sisters, along with those mean brothers that you didn't mess with. LoL
Please accept my condolences on your loss. Corrine will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

I've never met Mrs Irby or knew anything about her until I read read her obituary. I feel something special about her and her life. It's hilarious she left 30+ years of things for her wonderful daughters. Enjoy many of those beautiful things she left behind. They are priceless to the heart.
My prayers go out to the entire family, and friends who knew her. It's a difficult time yet the heart knows Mrs. Irby is going just fine. Smile when you think of her. God bless you.
