Irene Merancio who was 73 years old passed away December 31, 2017. She passed surrounded by her husband, two daughters, and loving grandchildren. Irene never stopped smiling and was always friendly. Everyone loved talking to her, whether it be at church or in a grocery store. She never missed any of her grandchildren’s milestones or events whether it be a school performance or various sports games. Irene was never late, always at least thirty minutes early. She holds a special place in our hearts and will be missed dearly. We love you and we will always keep your memory alive.
