Floy, 25 Died Suddenly Wednesday, Dec. 12, while going to Clear Lake School Funeral service were held last Sunday afternoon at St. Paul's American Lutheran church for Irene Floy, with the Rev. W. Fritshel, pastor of the church, officiating. Miss Betty Donaldson, a fellow teacher at Clear Lake high school, sang several selections during the church service. She was accompanied by Mrs. L. E. Jacobson of Clear Lake. Pallbearers were: Oscar Floy, Hanford Floy, Floyd Bruce, Wilbert Ingebretson, Leonard Long and Ivan Nielsen. Interment was at Pleasant View cemetery in Thornton. Irene Florence Floy, the eldest daughter of Carl and Etta Floy, was born in the vicinity of Thornton, January 7, 1920. She became a member of St. Paul's American Lutheran church having been baptized in early infancy, and later, after having been instructed in the fundamental teachings of the Bible and of the Lutheran church, being confirmed. Irene attended the local schools, graduating from the high school in the class of 1937. During this time she had been active in the Luther League of her church and also in 4-H club work. After her graduation she attended Iowa State College at Ames, majoring in home economics education. She graduated in March, 1942, receiving her bachelor of science degree. She completed the remainder of the school year at Sigourney, at which place she also continued to teach the following year. Since then she has been teaching vocational home making at Clear Lake. She had been tremendously interested and conscientious about her work as a teacher. She was a member of the Iowa State Teacher's association, and of the American Vocational association. She had also been a faithful member of the Lutheran church and was held in high esteem by all the pastors of the churches which she had attended. During her college years she had also been active in the Lutheran Student's association. She died suddenly on the morning of December 12 while she was on her way to school. It was the second death in the family within a week, since her brother, Dale, who had recently returned from the Pacific area, had been killed in an auto accident the previous Wednesday. One other brother, Raymond, and one sister, Cleone, had preceded her in death. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Floy, three brothers--Merlin, Vernon, and Lee, one sister, Ruth Ann, as well as a large group of other relatives and a host of friends."
