She began a long career in education at Denmark High School. At the completion of that school year, she accepted a position at Elloree High School. Mrs. Irick met her future husband and love of her life, Will, shortly after moving to Elloree. After a three-month courtship they were married on December 20, 1950 at Mullins Presbyterian Church in Mullins, SC. After teaching home economics for several years, Mrs. Irick obtained her certification in elementary education. She taught sixth grade in Elloree until 1961, and later taught the third and fifth grades at Ellis Avenue School beginning in 1963.
