Irene was born and raised in Best’s Harbour on Tacks Beach, Placentia Bay. She had many stories of life, the good and the hard times. Irene had a sharp memory, she was able to recall hundreds of names and birthdays of family & friends in the community. She married the love of her life John Howell, on August 12,1957 at the Garden Cove United Church. Irene loved the community of family and many friends. She was a kind and loving soul devoting her time to the church. She was an active member of the choir for many years. Her involvement with the UCW was the highlight of her life.
