Irene died in St Paul’s Hospital, Vancouver, on July 18, 2016 at the age of 82.

Irene was born in Berlin, Germany in 1934 and became a Canadian citizen in 1969. A proud, independent and hard working woman, Irene was elegant, sophisticated and always had great shoes.

She kept her sense of fun and humour to the very difficult end and will be sadly missed by her close friends, Sebas, Steve and Melanie and family, Joelle, Bob and by all who knew her.
