Mrs. Irene was a member of Warsaw Baptist Church, she was born April 16, 1921, to the union of the late James and Emma McDonald, Irene after she graduated from Pioneer High School moved to Texas attending business school where she met and married Azrel Bercy Bible in 1943. They worked and saved enough money to purchase 80 acres in Madison Parish, which they farmed until Azrel's retirement. They had two children Phillip and Renee. Irene and Azrel were married for 60 years when he passed away in 2003. She then volunteered at the Franklin Parish Hospital in Winnsboro. She loved her hospital and all the "Pink Ladies". Irene loved competition and competed in Senior Olympics usually placing 1 St. 2 nd or 3 rd. and even went to the Nationals. Another love was sports. She loved watching football, baseball, and tennis. When not watching sports, she was reading the newspaper, a good book or the Bible. She enjoyed fishing small ponds and Big Lakes, like Lake Fork. She loved to catch them as well as eat them. She was a devoted mother and grandmother, but a good and faithful servant of her Lord and Savior which she loved most. Always encouraging and uplifting others, some describe her as colorful, one of a kind, light of the day, determined. One thing is for sure she lived a full life, 101 years serving the Lord and her community.
