Irene was born on January 15, 1935 in Glendale California; she graduated from South High School. She married Robert Winchell Shaw and they began to grow their family. They spent most of their life in Bountiful Utah. Irene worked as a waitress at Pappas Steak House for most of her career; however, her real joy in life was children. Irene was involved in boy/girl scouts and teaching primary. Irene would rather have a BBQ and a water fight in her backyard than go to a fancy party. Everyone who needed a home or a meal was welcome. She was truly generous with all that she had.
