On July 17, 1948, she married Henry L. Smith. They raised three children, Gary, Brian, and Rene'. Irene had a passion for her family and was truly the Matriarch of ours. She enjoyed the beach, watching the FL sunset and spending time with her family. One of the fondest memories the family shares is that at her birthday parties. She would be serenaded by everyone who loved her to "You've lost that loving feeling" by the Righteous Brothers. She was known for her quick wit, infectious smile, and kind and compassionate spirit. She also held the secret to making the perfect Oyster Stew for Christmas Eve dinner. Irene was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Matt and Bob, and sons Lee and Gary. She is survived by her brother Sylvester, always lovingly known as Babe and his wife Linda, her children Rene' and Brian, her son in law Tom, and grandchildren Scotty, Steven, Chris, Nicole, Daniel and Greg.
