Irene was a great homemaker, wife, mother and grandmother and never took for granted time spent with her family. She loved people and left a loving impression on everyone that had the pleasure of meeting her. She also worked outside of the home at Lucky Star, Blue Bell, and various garment factories as a seamstress for over 20 years. She enjoyed sewing and when her children were little she made their clothing. She also worked as a nanny to Dr. Rabonowitz's family. Irene had an inspiring faith in God and was a faithful member of First United Pentecostal Church, Verona.
