Irene Pearl Davis was born in Belleisle Creek on December 16, 1927; she was the daughter of the late Allen Northrup and Mae (Campbell) and was the wife of the late Alvin Davis who passed away in 1979. Irene took great pride in her family and enjoyed spending time with them. She enjoyed her visitors and would often say "What's the hurry?" when they were getting ready to leave and begin a new conversation. She was caring, loving and giving. Her door was always open for a chat, place to stay or simply a meal. When her vision was good she loved puzzles, knitting, quilting and crafting. She loved going out with Linda on Friday nights to the country music at the Legion. Irene would watch out the window daily for her homemaker Lorraine to arrive and enjoyed her company immensely. She always bragged about the places she would take her, whether it would be somewhere here in town or to the city. Irene was always so proud of her latest up to date fashion, wearing nothing but the "in" styles. Loving her lipstick and makeup especially her bright pink blush, she always called, her "rouge". Even when she was in the hospital on her weakest days she would always request her cream be lathered on her face to help prevent her wrinkles. At age 82 she fought a hard and tough battle fighting right to the end. Irene was beautiful, intelligent, classy, strong and stubborn woman who will be missed very much by anyone who had the privilege to know her.
