Irene was such a sweet and special lady. I’m so glad I called and talked with her a while back. She’d always tell me I needed to move back to TX.❤️ Ronnie, you and all your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

The world has lost one of its most generous, kind, and strong ladies. Miss Irene will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Her life was one of giving to others at all times. May her family find peace in the fact that she served the Lord faithfully until the day she passed. Our prayer to God is that they all be comforted in this most difficult time.
