Q: What will you never forget about Irene?
A: I will never forget Aunt Irene. She was one good Sunday School teacher. She was always prepared and had each student in her class participate by reading the lesson and then we would discuss. After the discussion we did a small craft to represent the lesson that was taught that day. She took great pride in teaching children in Sunday School. Irene always had a great happy smile on her face and she enjoyed all the children in her class. Irene was a fabulous cook and made yummy pies, especially the lemon pie. My mom always talked about how good Irene’s raisin pie was, the best. Irene would attend square dances at the community hall in Scots Bay where her husband Earl would play guitar along with his brother Glen. Since Earl was playing the music, Irene square danced with her brother Edgar or a cousin or nephew. There was always a dance partner for Irene. She always enjoyed swinging to the “wildwood flower.” You will be missed ,Irene. May your spirit rest in peace.
