Irene graduated from Fresno Seventh Day Adventist Academy and went on to graduate from Pacific Union College in Angwin CA. Soon after was married to Paul Libick from Louisiana.

She moved to Colorado to be close to her daughter Carol and grandchildren, Brandy and Stephen. Irene's grandchildren meant the world to her.

She then moved to Arizona, to live on her son Bob and daughter in law Kathy's cattle ranch. She enjoyed her time in Az and had many tales to tell of the animals. Looking for a new adventure the three packed their bags and headed to Big Sky Country. Bob, Kathy, and Irene landed in Hamilton Mt. Where Irene spent her remaining years.
