Brenda Breeding says:
Irene was one of God's children and was always faithful to Him and her church. She walked with the Lord, knowing that her purpose in life was to let everyone know about the Lord and salvation. She also has several gifts, hospitality, faithfulness and was an encourager. I learned so much from her about witnessing and remember the times when her, Dee and I would go door to door. She was an inspiration to me at that time in my life when she went to church with me.
