She is preceded in death by her parents; sister, Cecelia Zakrzewski and three brothers, Alois, Edmond and Victor Banaszak. She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
She was a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Marche and was a member of the Rosary Sodality.
Irene was employed by Tuf-Nut, Ottenheimers and Koehler's Bakery. She spent many years as caregiver to her parents and her brother Alois.
She was a quiet, gentle woman and her family was her greatest joy. She never missed a family/friend get-together, always bringing her pineapple pie (or two). She will be greatly missed.
The family extends their gratitude for Irene's special caregivers: Maddie Ganaway, Candy and Jerry Ward and her family.
