This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Ilene Gallagher who was born in California on 07 November, 1942 and passed away on 25 December, 2017 at the age of 75. We will remember her forever.

Ilene was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  She enjoyed spending time with family and friends.  Ilene enjoyed traveling and meeting new people and experiencing everything life had to offer.  Ilene traveled alot with her husband.  She also enjoyed just relaxing at home.

Ilene loved her family and was very giving.  She did so much for everyone and who ever knew her, knows what a truly unselfish person she was.  I am sure everyone would have a different story to tell you about how thoughtful, loving, caring, and giving she was.  Ilene was truly a one of a kind person.

It is hard to imagine what life is going to be without her beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor.  She meant different things to so many different people.  I am sure there would never be two stories that are the same.

Ilene never met a stranger, she always made them feel welcome no matter who they were.  Ilene was also an inner strength and that naturally drew people to her. 

Ilene (wife/mother/grandmother) was a massive loss to our heart and our family. We never imagined that I/we would have to say goodbye so soon. We are crushed beyond any words. Words cannot describe the emptiness inside each and everyone of us. We know you are at peace now with our heavenly father and always know you will never be forgotten forever in our hearts. With our love always. Until we meet again my dear mother.

Thanksgiving, one of your favorite times of the year. I remember all the years going up to your moms. I remember seeing Larry driving towards our house as we were headed to your mom's. It was the last time we seen him.

I remember our last Thanksgiving together eating the hospital Thanksgiving food.

I hate October, November and December. Three year have already went by and I can't get over how much I miss you Pumpkin Pie.

Thank God you're at peace in heaven 

Love you Forever & Always XO

Going through your pictures, such a beautiful smile and eye that light up a room.

Three years ago you ask me to leave your Bithday gifts at home and you would open when you got out of the hospital.

Three years ago today you were in surgery and I was back at the house dealing with the fire. I've felt so sad the last few days looking at the pictures of our last rally together.

I hate days like today. God I miss you.

Today would have our 32nd wedding anniversary. June 20, 1988, where has all the time went?

I think the saddest thing is the sharing of our memories and talking about them with you now there just mine.

I miss my sweet little girl every day.

God rest your sole. I pray angel all around you.

Forever and Always, I love you.
