Irene married Edwin Stock in 1947, and they farmed in the Thelma area most often referred to as “The Bench”. Over the years, Irene became well known as an excellent cook. She cooked at the Girl Guides camp in Elkwater and on highway construction camp jobs at various locations. In 1969, they moved to a farm East of Medicine Hat. Irene began working in Medicine Hat, first at Sunnyside Nursing Home and later at the Parklane Hotel. In 1974, Edwin and Irene took over operation of the Black and White Coffee Shop which became their real passion for thirteen years. After leaving the coffee shop they operated Al’s Coin Laundry in Crestwood until their retirement. Edwin and Irene eventually moved into the Haven and enjoyed playing cards and socializing with all the residents. Irene then spent the past three years at Riverview Care Center where she received excellent care. She will always be remembered as an outstanding cook whose kitchen was always open. Irene’s ability to make conversation with everyone she met made her many friends. Irene’s life will be celebrated at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 – 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat, on Monday, April 23, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Bob Findley officiating.
