The Reverend Danny Brown and the Congregation of the Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church, 802 W.

In accordance with the family's wishes, cremation will take place following the services and burial will follow at Rice Cemetery at a later date.

Irene worked as a beautician for many years in the Elkhart area. She was also a devout lifetime member of Pilgrim Rest, and was raised, married and soon to be buried within that church. She enjoyed being connected with all of her friends and family on social media, loved to cook (especially chitlin's and baked fish) and liked to shop and go out and get her hair "did". She also loved to go out and eat and would go just about anywhere except for McDonald's. Finally, it should be mentioned that she was a diehard "Law and Order" fan and watched it all day every day.
