Irene Squires
1936-2024
Irene Squires passed peacefully away at her home in Old Perlican,
surrounded by family and love, on May 27, 2024.
Irene was born August 18, 1936 to her parents, Elisha and Hannah
Garland. She was born and raised in Lower Island Cove with her older
sister, Jessie. She later moved to Old Perlican, where she met the
love of her life, “Oie”. She worked at the Old Perlican
Cottage Hospital as a cook for approximately 30 years. Her greatest
gift in life was her beautiful children, Linda and Rick.
Irene spent may days in her kitchen baking bread and cakes. There were
many wedding cakes that came from her kitchen. Her favourite times
were when all her family was running around her home. Her face would
light up when her grandchildren: Christopher, Brad, Curtis, Michael
and Jamie came to see her. Later, they came with their children: Sara,
Dawson, Spencer, Channing, Jaxon, Cater, and Kaden. She was never
happier than when her home was full.
For the past few years, Irene was able to have another family with her
to allow her to stay in the home that she built. She loved them all:
Laurie (Santa Claus), Maureen, Kayla, Michelle, Nita, and her very
special niece, Jessie. Irene was a friend to all and was always open
for a chat with many.
Leaving to mourn are her loving children, Linda (Don) and Rick (Marg);
grandchildren: Christopher (Heather), Brad (Dana), Curtis (Cindy),
Michael (Lois), and Jamie (Sarah);
great grandchildren: Sara, Dawson, Spencer, Channing, Jaxon, Carter,
and Kaden;
special nieces, Jessie and Loretta, as well as other nieces and
nephews;
her homecare workers; along with many family and friends.
Predeceased by her loving husband, William “Oie” Squires;
parents, Elisha and Hannah Garland;
parents-in-law, Simeon and Jessie Squires; sister, Jessie Snelgrove;
nephew, Graham Snelgrove; and other members of the Garland and Squires
families.
