The passing of Irene Margaret, aged 91, marks the end of a chapter in Huntly, leaving a legacy of love, family, and cherished memories. Irene, also known as Hally, was the beloved wife of the late George (Hally) and devoted mother to the late Audrey. In addition to her roles as a wife and mother, she was a dear sister and aunt, weaving a tapestry of familial bonds that defined her rich and meaningful life.
The funeral service to honor Irene Margaret will take place in the tranquil setting of the Ian Esslemont Funeral Directors Chapel, located at 3 Chapel Street, Huntly, on Thursday, February 1 at 1:00 pm. This somber occasion provides an opportunity for friends, family, and the community to come together and pay their respects to a remarkable woman who touched the lives of many.
In a reflection of Irene’s understated elegance, the family requests that only family flowers be offered, allowing the focus to remain on the essence of her life and the love she shared. For those inclined to make a gesture of remembrance, the family suggests donations in lieu. This thoughtful alternative aligns with Irene’s spirit of generosity, channeling contributions towards a cause or charity that holds significance.
The invitation extended to “all friends” reflects the open-hearted nature of Irene and her family, welcoming anyone touched by her presence to join in commemorating a life well-lived. The chapel, a place where memories linger and stories are shared, becomes a sacred space for collective reflection and the celebration of Irene’s journey.
As the community gathers to bid farewell, the memories of Irene Margaret echo in the hearts of those she leaves behind. The legacy of a devoted wife, loving mother, dear sister, and cherished aunt lives on, and the funeral service becomes a poignant moment to honor the impact she had on the lives fortunate enough to have known her.
