After their marriage they lived in Omaha, Nebraska; then Moline, Illinois for 14 years, until moving to Columbus, Nebraska in 1973. Irene was a devoted Catholic and mother. Her family will never know the benefits of the long hours she spent on her knees praying for them. Her love for God and her church was a strong example for her family. She raised the children, cared for the home, and volunteered at church and school for many years while Louie was away earning a living driving his truck. She had a great sense of humor and was very resilient in the face of adversity. She was proud to be Irish and from Southwest Iowa. She worked as an LPN in Omaha and Moline, loaded and washed trucks for UPS in Columbus, cleaned hotel rooms and offices, and worked at Appleton for 10 years. She lived through two aneurysms and fought Alzheimers for several years before her death.
