The Leaper Family announces with sorrow the death of Mrs. Irene Rose Leaper at the age of 92 years. Mrs. Leaper died peacefully at the Temiskaming Hospital on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. Loving wife of the late Archie Leaper, Irene was the mother of six children; Ted [Peggy] Leaper of Cobalt, Don [Debbie] Leaper of Oshawa, Larry Leaper of Cobalt, Betty (Al) Lanois of London, Marilyn [Ray] St Denis of Timmins and Randy [Karen] Leaper of Englehart.

She would be proud to announce that. Predeceased by three of her children (Randy, Teddy and Marilyn) as well as her loving husband.
