Irene was faithful in attending women’s Bible studies. She shared her stories which were uplifting to us. She will be missed.
Irene helped coordinate Jack’s church disability schedule with his van when the Brown’s moved to another local church. Jack’s team was very grateful for her taking on this task for along time and making all of our lives less hectic.
We were so thankful when she stepped in.
I will miss this precious lady so much. Irene was a thoughtful, kind, and Godly woman.
Cherishing the friendship we’ve shared over the years, first meeting at Lee University and continuing our friendship when we moved to St. Louis for Terry to attend chiropractic college. So many wonderful times at our house and yours. Friends who became our family. Irene will remain in our hearts forever. Love and prayers, Terry and Suzanne
What a lovely couple you were. You always spoke of Irene with love and compassion. I am pleased to have met her, if only once. She was everything that you said about her and more.
Much love
Terry and family. I just saw this. Sorry for the passing of Irene. God’s blessings of peace to your family.
Irene was a dear friend, a strong Christian example, and a faithful wife, mother and grandmother. We fondly remember her warmth, hospitality, calm gentle temperament and rock solid faith. She will be missed greatly by her family, friends and her church family. Her legacy of enduring commitment to God will live on in all of us who know her and love her. Lord, give us more inspiring models like Irene who like Abel in Hebrews 11 is “dead but still speaks”!
Irene was very sweet and very thoughtful. She faithfully sent Anniversary Cards for many years running She had a great sense of humor and a quick wit. Her smile would light up a room. It was a blessing to be in her presence. We miss her but no doubt her troubles have now been washed away as she shares her smiles in heaven. We look forward to seeing her again some day. So sorry for your loss Terry. If it feels so hard for us, it must be very difficult for you. You have been in our thoughts and prayers. Greg and Chris Huffman
