Irène was born in the farming community of St. Joseph, Manitoba on April 10, 1935. She went on to Normal School, in St. Boniface where she would graduate as a teacher and obtained her first job in a one room school house in Ross, MB.

She stayed home to raise her children and when her youngest started school, Irène returned to the second love of her life, teaching elementary school children. She taught until the age of 65 and then went on to enjoy her retirement years with her family and friends
