Special thanks to those who worked to keep her comfortable at home during the end of her life. She passed away in her bed, by her window, exactly where she wanted to be.
She was born Irene Pauline Goetz on July 29th 1923, in Wilkie Saskatchewan into a family of 10 siblings, all of whom she survived. She lived and worked in Saskatoon before moving to Vancouver, marrying and beginning a family in 1949. Irene was preceded in death by her husband Casmier Przednowek, who passed away in 1997; and her granddaughter Katerina, who passed in 2019. A loving mother, Irene is survived by; two sons, Wayne and Bryon; two grandchildren, Kristopher and Rebecca; and one great-grandchild, Arlo. She was devoted to her home, her garden and her friends. She was always up for a game of Crib and she would likely to win.
