Daleo, Irene Helen

Irene Helen Daleo was born on February 7, 1924 in Ada, Oklahoma to 
Tom and Lena Myers. She passed away peacefully on August 22, 2006 
with her family by her side. Even though Irene loved growing up on 
the farm with her six older brothers and sister in Oklahoma, she left 
home as a teenager and moved to Los Angeles to experience what life 
outside of the Oklahoma farm had to offer. While enjoying the 
excitement of LA in the 1940s she met and married her husband, Mike 
Daleo. The scrap metal business brought Mike and Irene to Bakersfield 
in 1950, and she has lived here since, enjoying life with her family 
and friends. She also made many friends at Brock's Department store, 
where she worked for many years. Irene enjoyed spending her time 
bowling, visiting her extended family in Oklahoma during the summer, 
gambling in Las Vegas, relaxing at the beach, and being with her 
family. Irene's pride and joy in life has always been her three 
loving daughters, Darlene Lacey and her husband, Tim of Charlton, MA: 
Debbie Whitlock and her husband, Rick of Bakersfield; and Kay D'Aleo, 
of Bakersfield. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Karron 
Lacey and her husband, Tom Gossman; Audra Lacey; Lori Yurkanin and 
her husband, Josh; Lisa Whitlock; Joe Estrada, and his fiancee, Shay 
Metzger; Jennifer Estrada; and Michael Estrada. Further, she is 
survived by her great - grandchildren: Amanda Hazlett, Joshua Taylor, 
Darrah Ann Taylor, and Ethan Estrada. Her parents, siblings, and her 
husband, Mike, preceded her in death. Graveside services will be held 
Friday, August 22 at 2:00p.m. at Hillcrest Memorial Park and 
Mortuary, 9101 Kern Canyon Road Irene will be greatly missed, as well 
as her beautiful smile. Irene Helen Daleo Feb. 7, 1924 - Aug. 22, 
2006
