So sorry to read about Irene's passing. I missed seeing her at the Alumni banquet this year--we had the same significant years, the years ending in 3 or 8. We worked many evenings together in Pine Falls Hospital, although usually at opposite ends of the building. We are in Florida just now, so will be unable to attend her funeral, but I will be thinking about her. - Posted by: Linda Rudd (Co-worker) on: Mar 16, 2019

My condolences to Irene's family. She and my mom were first cousins. I enjoyed my visits with Irene before I moved from Winnipeg. Had recent memories of our discussions on Family genealogy. A lovely lady. - Posted by: Hazel Bochinski (Daughter of Irene's cousin Effie Craig) on: Mar 16, 2019
