Irene was always friendly and happy in the moments we knew her. Lovely smile, cheeky grin, and ready to crack a joke or laugh at someone else's. I see a bit of her in our nieces and nephew. God be with you in this time.

Irene was cheerful, kind and encouraging, she enabled people to enjoy their time with her. Her positive and loving nature was supported by her trust in our Heavenly Father. She will be remembered as a woman who brought a lighter feeling to all in a room.

It was lovely to meet Irene she was a kind and thoughtful person. She was always so happy and caring. Irene was lovely to be around and had such a good sense of humour. She loved and cherished her family and was a very devoted mother. Rest in peace Irene. Love Matt, Maree (nee Vicary), Asher and Ethan Berends.
