Irene was foremost a homemaker who selflessly served her family with love throughout her life. She humbly practiced her faith through the church by belonging to the Ladies Altar Society and the Holy Cross Bereavement Committee. Irene volunteered at the convent when the Marianite sisters were active in Morgan City by shopping, cleaning, cooking special dishes, and starching and ironing for them. When asked why she did it, she responded simply that they prayed with her. Irene was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She enjoyed gardening, cooking for her family, and participating in the activities of her grandchildren. She tirelessly took care of her special daughter, Gwen, until her death last year. Where Irene went, so did Gwen.
