She followed her sweetheart from her small town to the big city and lived happily ever after for 67 years. Now she's followed him again so that they can be together forever.
On Friday, December 16, 2022, Irene (Manolakos) Redmond passed away after heroically battling multiple illnesses. She follows her husband, William Redmond, on her next journey. She is survived and will forever be missed by her children, William Redmond Jr. (Victoria), Sharon Redmond Shea (Jerry) and Scott Redmond (Susan). She will be missed by her seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. She will be missed also by the many nieces and nephews that she loved.
Irene was a powerhouse of a person in a tiny package. A friend described her as the woman everyone wanted to be, "she could cook, bake, clean and decorate all the time being stylish and holding down a full-time job".
She was an amazing mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. Always there to support and help those she loved. She was a tough cookie with the softest heart.
