After her marriage she and her family lived on a farm southwest of Beloit until 1957 when they moved to town. Irene worked for J.M.

Irene loved her family and her Church. She will be remembered by her family for her delicious Sunday morning rolls and coffee and Wednesday's fried chicken as well as her lively political discussions. She always had the last word and won every discussion.
