Sewing was a big part of her life since she started sewing doll clothes on her mother’s treadle machine before she started grade school. Irene sewed for her family and by age 14 she started sewing clothes for the neighbors. She continued to sew for her own family and others, sewing shirts, men’s & women’s suits, coast, dresses, formals, and wedding gowns. In 1983 she began working at M-C Industries in Belleville, KS in the sewing department. Irene sewed samples for the company and served as leader in various lines of production. They sewed gurney covers, a variety of things for hospitals, nursing homes, hotels, aviation helmet liners, and various things for the government. What always stood out in her mind was when the Pentagon commissioned them to sew patient wraps. They were charcoal lined covered stretchers with a zipper on three sides so they could lay the wounded on and zip it up with tree handles on each side to transport the wounded from the battlefield to the hospitals. They had a plastic window and two cones for life support systems. Desert Storm was chemical warfare and we were the only US Company to sew them. Irene worked full time until she was 70 and retired at the end of that year. Irene enjoyed ballroom and square dancing. She attended her children’s sporting and school events. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and getting together with family and friends. She wrote poems as a hobby. Her favorite was “Country Spring” The lilacs smell wonderful, the wild plum thickets too No perfumes compares to the scent of these two The patter of rain on the newly turned earth Give promise again for a year of rebirth Baby calves frolic in the sunshine all day Baby piglets will dance in circles in play There’s nothing quite like a day on the farm With someone you love, when the weather grows warm Irene was also an artist. She loved drawing horses, deer and dogs in scenic backgrounds. As her health was failing this fall, her life of 88 years on this earth came to a close Tuesday, November 26, 2109 while a patient at St. Elizabeth Hospital, Lincoln, Nebraska. Although missed by all who loved her, she will never be forgotten. Family will be greeting family and friends 5:00pm to 7:00pm Friday, November 29th at Ahrendts Funeral Home, Deshler, Nebraska.
