Irene Wolverton Obituary
Southern California. She moved to Arroyo Grande in 1968.
She loved to garden and share the bounty with friends and neighbors. She was especially known for
her delicious berries.
Above all, her dedication and
joy for her grandchildren is how she will be remembered. She loved baking custom birthday cakes for
birthdays and always had fresh cookies and coffee ready for guests. She was a fabulous cook and gladly taught her granddaughters her secrets. She kept her quick wit and sense of humor until the very end.

husband Jack of Arroyo Grande; son Danny Wolverton and wife Ellen of Tollhouse, Calif.;
daughter Peggy Fowler and husband Rob of Santa
Barbara, Calif.; brother Gussie Rossknecht of Grants
Pass, Ore.; sister Lucy Wilson of Hot Springs, S.D.;
