Irene was born September 8, 1932 on the family farm near St. Anthony, ND. She was raised on the farm and attended St. Anthony School. Irene worked as a waitress in a restaurant in Mandan. She married Eugene Schantz, September 28, 1953 at Mandan. Following marriage they farmed near Lemmon, SD until 1960 when they bought a farm near Glen Ullin. Irene was a devoted mother to her ten children and a surrogate mother to the children she took in and provided day care for. When they were all grown she worked outside the home at the Crossroads Express. Irene had a passion for music, she played piano in an orchestra when she was a young girl, and continued playing throughout her life. She was a member of the Christian Mothers, a past member of the Sacred Heart Choir, and enjoyed playing Bingo, Bridge, Bonco and Scrabble, and getting together with friends for coffee. In her spare time Irene kept busy by crocheting, embroidery, and preparing great meals. Irene was a woman of good humor, and an infectious laugh, which caused others laugh with her.
