I just wanted to thank everyone who left messages here. My mom passed away nearly 6 years ago, but I just came across this post. I don’t know who wrote it, but my mom was not born in Chester, Pennsylvania, I was. My mom,  Irene Verna Yelton (Later Sweeney, then Berman) was born in Collinsville, Illinois on September 13, 1929. 
It is odd that whoever originally wrote this post did not know that, and did not use an original photo, as my mom was so beautiful. She was also incredibly kind, bright, and the most talented person I have ever known. She is still my hero, and-as the anniversary of her passing approaches-I find I still miss her as much as ever.  
Love you, mom. ❤️

I had the pleasure of knowing Irene many years ago when I worked at WPLG.  A true professional in her craft and even nicer person.  My condolences to Larry and family.

SIDE BY SIDE FOREVER, YOUR LOVING SISTER DORIS

I WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD TO BE MY MOTHERS DAUGHTER.
CLASSY, SMART, LOVING AND BEAUTIFUL. HOW BLESSED I 
AM. I LOVE YOU FOREVER MY DEAR MOM.  CHERYL HENRY

I will forever love You and forever miss You, Irene

           Your Husband, Larry

Please accept my condolences Renee. So sorry I was not able to attend your Mom's service. She was a wonderful and interesting lady who helped many people and shared her expertise while serving on our Miami Lakes Cultural Affairs committee when it was getting started. You have so many memories to share.

Irene & Doris gave me a huge opportunity when I was first starting out. I will not forget either of them.

Irene was a true pioneer in our business. I had the pleasure of serving on the NATAS board with her. Its because of people like Irene that there is a business to work in. I think we often lose sight of the ones that forged the path so that others can have careers in the business. Thank you Irene for all that you did for the TV and Film community in South Florida and the person that you were.

My Heart felt condolences to all the Family.
Rest in Peace Irene.

Rene, Larry & Family.  I'm shocked to hear of Irene's passing.  I've spent over 35 years of my life in South Florida Broadcasting. I was introduced to Irene in 1972.  She was, always, very impressive and a Professional Broadcaster.  She always was there to help me on various projects.  I shall miss her dearly.   One of the great people of Florida.  Jayne and I send our deepest sympathy at this difficult time.  Patrick G. Appleson, Pat Appleson Studios, Inc., Conover, NC
