Irene spent 39 years in hospital nursing in Lincoln, Nebraska, Topeka, Concordia and Hays, Kansas. Thirty-two of those years were at St. Anthony Hospital in Hays, which later became Hays Medical Center. She also assisted doctors on many occasions with clinics for school children, athletes and other community services. Irene was a dedicated nurse, giving her patients complete and loving care was a passion of hers and not just a job. Her soft-spoken words of comfort and encouragement and her skilled patient care made her patients feel better when she entered the room. Her total commitment and loving care for her patient was exceeded only by the commitment and loving care for her family. She took great pride in the many thank you notes she received by mail or in person from her former patients.
Irene was preceded in death by her parents and seven brothers and six sisters. She is survived by her husband of the home and five children, Cheryl and her husband Richard Wunder of Olathe, Michele and her husband Max Heidrick of Beloit, KS, Greg and his wife Linda of Athens, GA, Brian and his wife Margaret of Alma, KS, and Dana and his fiancée Jeanette Alexander of Fairway, KS She is also survived by eleven grandchildren an six great grandchildren.
