This memorial website was created in the memory of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend Irene Meyer, 87.  Irene was born on February 18, 1926 and passed away on May 5, 2013.


Irene's passion in recent years was her family and the time that she was able to spend at her church, St. Thomas More and  the Ladies Auxillary at the American Legion in St.James.  In her earlier years, Irene loved to spend time at the ocean, especially with her sister Helen and kids while her boys Ed and Steven were growing up.  Later, she spent many happy hours with her grandchildren playing board games and baking all of their favorite treats.  Irene was an animal lover who rarely said no to a pet in need. She was a very gentle soul who will be greatly missed.


Irene is survived by her husband Edmund Jr, sons Edmund III and Steven, grandchildren Ed, Michelle, Russell and Keith, great grandchildren Brianna and Dylan, sister Marion and sons,Joe and James, nieces Donna and Wendy, along with countless other friends and family.     

Irene requested a private funeral. The family wishes to thank all of those who sent her well wishes over the last six months.
