Irene was born on July 17, 1925, in the area of Frederick previously known as Del Camino. She has been a lifelong Weld County resident, living on several farms in the Carbon Valley and Platteville areas, where her family worked as sharecroppers raising corn and sugar beets, before settling in La Salle 56 years ago — a home she still lives in, where she is able to care for herself, with a little assistance from family close by. During high school, when her mother got sick, Irene stepped up as primary caretaker in the home. She is proud that she was able to fill this role and support her father and siblings until her mother recovered. Irene's advice to others is simple but powerful: Lead a good life, be kind to people, and be sure to think before you speak. The secret to her longevity is equally short but sweet — take care of yourself, whether that's wearing a straw cap in the sun or adding garlic to your diet. Congratulations, Irene, on a milestone birthday and a life well -lived. Here's to many more happy years to come! Scott K. James, Pro-Tem Jason S. Maxey, BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS erry L.
