Irene is also survived by her sister Ellen Smith and was predeceased by her parents Walter & Katharine Kaden, sisters Kaye (Bob) Saville, Ruth (Elmer) Gaiser, brother-in-law Win Smith and a brother in infancy.

      Irene was proud of her involvement volunteering and coordinating the City of Waterloo Meals on Wheels program for over 25 years and she enjoyed her fellowship with friends in the Lutheran Adult Fellowship (LAF) of Christ Lutheran Church. She was especially proud of her grandchildren. Irene also had a love for the neighbourhood dogs (and their walkers) who will miss her "cookie treats".
