Ahhhhh, Irma. I used to call her my other mother when I worked with her at Holes-Webway. She always gave me sound advice when I needed it. We had a lot of laughs and it was an honor to call her a friend.

Guestbook
Irma just made the most important trip of a lifetime and heaven has gained a very special angel. We were blessed to call Irma our neighbor and friend. She brought joy to many lives with her warm hospitality, lively conversation, and culinary skills. It was a perfect day when Irma invited you over for a cup of coffee and her famous homemade cookies. Several varieties of cookies
were placed before you to enjoy. Irma will always hold a special place in our hearts. We loved her more than words can say. We hold her family in our thoughts and prayers.

We are so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace. Blessings to all. Shelly and Jim
I had the honor to do Irma’s hair at Country Manor, even the Tuesday before she passed. We always had such great conversations and could relate to each other so well, the stories she told took me back to the days with my Grandmother. I could tell she loved her family, we talked about them often. She touched my heart in such a short time, I will miss her dearly! May God’s peace be with you all during this time!
