Irene was born and raised in Hartville and graduated from Hartville High School in 1944. While she was still young, Irene taught at the Green Valley school for a couple of years before she married Lawson. After her and Lawson met, they wed and settled down and raised two sons.
Irene was saved and baptized at an early age and became a member at the Green Valley Church. Irene knew her Lord and read her bible every night before going to bed.
Irene was a homemaker through and through. When she wasn’t cooking or baking, she would be busy sewing a quilting for her family. Irene also enjoyed putting puzzles together and scrapbooking for her grandkids. Irene always kept a journal to write down the days events that were most dear to her. Most importantly, she loved her family with all of her heart and enjoyed spending as much time as she could with them. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and dear friend. We celebrate her wonderful life and will always cherish the many happy memories she created.
