Obituary
Mom was born at Lougheed, Alberta to Carl and Keitha (nee Oliver). Some early years were spent residing in the teacherages with her mother Keitha around the St. Paul area and then a few years later she moved with her cousin Gordon Ray to their grandmother, Mrs. Annie Lee’s farm close to Tofield.
After Completing school and attending Vermillion School of Agriculture, she met Alexander (Sandy) Scott and they married in June 1945. They had three children, Conrad, Gloria and Betty Anne and resided on the farm near Lindbrook, Alberta until 1978 when they retired and moved to Tofield. Mom was an avid gardener, seamstress, housewife and helped dad with the farm. Family and friends were loved, cherished and so very important to her.
After moving to Tofield, mom spent hours and hours making fortrel quilt tops that were sent all over the world to people in need. Several family members are also in possession of her beautiful quilts.
Mom sold the house in Tofield in 2005, moved to a small apartment and then health concerns forced her to move to the Tofield Lodge in 2008 where she resided until 2017. As her health declined she was placed in Wainwright Long Term Care for two months (which was extremely taxing on both mom and the family) finally at the end of 2017 we managed to secure a room for her back in the Tofield Long Term Care facility where she happily resided until her peaceful passing in the early hours of December 1, 2022.
Irene is survivied by her daughters Gloria (Herb) Elliott and Betty Anne (Gary) Packwood; grandchildren Rhonda, Dale, Jody and Andrew; four great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter. She is also survived by her sister Betty Gudmundson; sister-in-law Yvonne Brown and numerous other family and friends.
She was predeceased by her husband Alexander (Sandy); son Conrad (Gina); sister Marguerite (Earl) Olson; brothers Kenneth (Anne) Oliver, Peter Brown and brother-in-law Clive Gudmundson.
A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, December 10, 2022 at the Tofield United Church in Tofield, Alberta.
