Obituary: Irwin, Betty Ann

Age 79

IRWIN, Betty Ann Born: August 4, 1934 (Viola, Arkansas) Died: May 31, 2014 (Spokane, Washington) Betty married Robert Noel Irwin on September 6, 1953, in Wenatchee, Washington.

Memorial Services will be held at Medical Lake Community Church on Saturday, June 28, 2014, at 2PM, with a reception immediately following at the MLCC Annex.

Our family matriarch has gone to be her Lord, and her son, David, who preceded her in death.

Betty is survived by her husband of 60 years, Robert Noel Irwin; her son, Robert Eugene Irwin; her daughter, Mary Ann Wadel; and, ten grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and a soon to be born great-great-grandchild.

As well as two sisters, Wanda Craner and Genalee Stevens (two sisters preceded her in death, Lorraine Carroll-Haworth and Thelma Holtrop).

Betty was 79 years young.

She has left many grieving family members and friends from sea to sea.

She was an avid traveller and adventurer; and in life, there was nothing she couldn’t do; but, her greatest love was her husband and family.

She was surrounded by family and friends at her passing.

Betty is the guiding force for our family and is irreplaceable.

We will love her forever and miss her dearly and cherish every moment we had with her.

God has broken our hearts to prove he only takes the very best.
