Irene was a wonderfully simple woman. In her younger years she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant and raised her children. After the passing of her daughter Carolyn, she raised her grandson Joe, as her own. In her later years, she liked to watch T.V., some of her favorite shows were GSN, crime shows, and My 600lb Life. Irene enjoyed doing word games and puzzles, picking all types of berries, collecting miniatures, such as tea sets, visiting with her family and friends. Her favorite pastime, though, was going for rides in the country to enjoy the scenic views. She spent all her time with her two fur babies that she just adored, Baby and Little Girl.

Family that Irene is reunited with are her parents; John "Fred" and Viola Adams, son; Mark Edward Oxtra, daughter; Carolyn Sue Oxtra, grandsons; Jesse Allen Fairbanks and Jason Peter Barsness and her significant other; Donald Gene Jacobs.
