She and Harvey loved their time in the Casey square dance club and nothing pleased her more than a competitive game of Scrabble with her sisters. Irene loved creating whether she was writing poetry, basket making, picking up a new craft and especially her quilting.

But for all her passions, her greatest was her family. She loved hosting the Mathews Family Reunion over the years and her door was always open. You never left her without her asking “When are you coming back?” She was the happiest when surrounded by that family and set an excellent example of unconditional love.
