Irene Marie Peterson was born in Des Moines, Iowa as Bonnie Rachel Wallace, 
the daughter of Clarence Shelby and Rachel Mae (Bates) Wallace. She was the 
eighth child of twelve known siblings. She was adopted in 1948 by Leonard and 
Jocena (Bangtson) Peterson. At the age of sixteen she moved to Montezuma, IA, 
to live with Leonard's sister, Evelyn Blain. Irene attended the Montezuma 
Community School where she met her first husband, James William McNaul (1935-
1969).
They were married on June 21, 1953, at the Skaraborg Lutheran Church in 
Calhoun County, Iowa, and to this union were born five children. They lived 
in Poweshiek County for a couple years before Jim enlisted in the Army where 
they spent some time in Lawton, Oklahoma, then Ft Hood, Texas, and at another 
Army base in Louisiana. When Jim was discharged from the Army, they moved 
back to Poweshiek County, Iowa, where they began farming.
In 1965, they left the farm due to Jim's health and moved to Malcom until his 
death in 1969. Irene remarried Daniel Boone Fisk on August 10, 1970 at the 
home of Doc and Colleen Van Kampen. She moved her children, to his farm 
located south of Searsboro, Iowa, where they reside today. Daniel had three 
daughters of his own, making for a large farm family!
Dan and Irene were faithful members of the New Sharon Assembly of God Church. 
Irene was known to many as Mama Rene, loved and respected by all who knew 
her. She was always ready with a warm hug. Through the years she served her 
church as a board member, senior Sunday School teacher, and Women's 
Ministries Dorcas Committee leader, and she will be greatly missed.
Irene is survived by her husband, Daniel Fisk, and their children, Cyndy 
McNaul of Grinnell, Iowa; Charlotte Beyer (Russell) of Pella, Iowa; Jacque 
Russell (Tom) of Riverside, California; Kenneth McNaul of Searsboro, IA; Jo 
Castaneda (Ricardo) of Marengo, IL; Jerri Belew (Norm) of Des Moines, IA; 
Cheri McNaul of Tulsa, OK; and Dan McNaul (Marj) of Hillsborough, New Jersey; 
many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
