Irene Florence Miller (Kroening)
July 1, 1920 - October 11, 2015
Obituary
Surrounded by her children, Irene passed away peacefully Sunday, October 11, 2015, at the age of 95.
Irene will be lovingly remembered by her children: Barbara (Brent) Green, Heather (Marvin) Bjornstad, Ken (Maureen) Miller and Richard Miller; grandchildren: Jeff, Kevin, Leanne, Kara, Julie, David, Colin, Paul (Renee) and Tegan: great-grandchild, Alexa: numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Mike and Martha Kroening: siblings, Richard, Alfred and Dorothy.
Irene was born and raised in Lamont, Alberta. She valued life-long learning, earning her teaching certificate at “Normal” School, her degree in Household Economics at the University of Alberta, and later her Dental Assistant Certification. She worked in each of these fields.
Irene spent most of her adult life in Elk Point. She loved being in her garden and was truly happy when she was cooking in her kitchen. Renowned for her baking, she was really in her element at Thanksgiving and Christmas! Irene volunteered in many capacities for organizations in her community and church.
She will be remembered for her inner strength, her energy, her love for her children and grandchildren, and for doing things right the first time!
The family extends sincere thanks to Dr, Harmse, and to St. Paul Extendicare Director of Care Bernie Kozicky, and to the staff, for their care of Irene.
A Memorial Service to celebrate Irene’s life will be conducted by Reverend Ann McGrath at the Elk Point United Church on Monday, October 26 at 2 p.m. If desired, donations can be made to the Bissell Center c/o 5626 – 51 Street, St. Paul, AB T0A 3A1

Relation: Relationship - How did you know the deceased?
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. She was truly an amazing lady. She was my Home Ec teacher in my High School days and I have to give her credit for many things. Just to name a few,
sewing, my Mother didn’t sew, it was from your mother that I learned to sew. After high school I continued to sew, I am most proud of the graduation and wedding dresses I have sewn. It was also your Mother that taught me to make pastry, pie is my specialty and to this day I pinch and twist the pastry to make a fluted edge like she taught me so many years ago.
