Irene Romanie Verbeek was born to the late Camiel & Alma (née Borle) Boddez in Ray, Alberta on June 5, 1926, and she peacefully passed away on November 29, 2021 in Comox, BC with family by her side. She was sadly predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Harry (d. 2003); daughter Bernice; son Harold; granddaughter Corrine; and great-grandchildren Kelsey & Robert; as well as her two brothers. She is survived by her children Thelma, Barbara, Howard, Stanley, Russell, Norman, Carol, Marlo, Karen, & Glenda; 25 grandchildren; 45 great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren; along with her two sisters.
Irene met and married her husband Harry in 1945; they farmed together in Morinville, AB for a few years before they moved to the hamlet of Dapp, AB. Then in 1967, they moved to Westbank, BC and ran an orchard until retirement. In 2007, Irene moved to Comox to be closer to her family.
A loving and patient parent and grandmother, Irene is remembered for her cookie jar because she always kept it full! Her children hold her lovingly in their hearts.
Mom,
Till we meet again, all our love.
