    • IRENE SHANTZ 1925 - 2009 Irene died peacefully at Lisaard House in Cambridge on Thursday, November 19, 2009. She was 84. Loved mother of Bob and his wife Alison Smiley of Toronto, Jane Humphries of Waterloo and Steven of Phoenix, Arizona. She will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren, Christopher and his wife Cindy, Sarah and her partner Ingvar, Nicholas and his partner Rachel and Vanessa. Irene was predeceased by her husband Armand in February 1989. She was much appreciated by her large family of 14 brothers and sisters. She worked as a cook at Angie's Kitchen, Waterloo, was the owner of the Pennsylvania Kitchen restaurant in Kitchener and was the banquet chef at the Conestogo Inn for many years until her retirement. Family and friends were the fortunate recipients of her excellent cooking. Irene loved the sunshine. With her sister and brother-in-law, Wilma and Ron Kelterborn, she lived most of each winter of her retirement in Florida. She and Wilma cherished their long walks on the beach together. Her family wants to thank the staff at Lisaard House for the thoughtful and loving care they gave Irene. The funeral service will be held in the chapel of the Erb & Good Family Funeral Home, 171 King Street South, Waterloo, on Monday, November 23, 2009 at 2 pm with Rev. David Malina officiating. Cremation has taken place. Following the service, friends and relatives are invited to the Fireside Reception Room of the funeral home for refreshments and a time to visit with the family. Condolences for the family or donations to Lisaard House would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy and may be arranged through the funeral home, www.erbgood.com or 519.745.8445. In living memory of Irene, a donation to the Trees for Learning Program will be made by the funeral home.
