Rest well Irene. You were always a smiling and wonderfully supportive band mum at Brisbane Excelsior. You will be missed.

During my time at Brisbane XLCR Irene was such a vibrant and bubbly soul. Her smile was like sunshine and people warmed to her instantly.
Irene’s contribution to the XLCR organisation as a hard working committee member will always be remembered and appreciated. The fact that Irene got Rachel into band gave us a friend for life. Thankyou Irene for Rachel.

Mrs E was my most favourite friend mum growing up in Loganhome.. She always made time for me and welcomed me into her family. Tat and I drove her mad with all our crazy ideas and adventures but she always supported us with enthusiasm and excitement. Secretly I think she wanted to go with us most of the time. I will always remember her friendship and silly heart she was fun to be around. You will be deeply missed .My deepest sympathies to the family .

Grandma,
You will forever be the pinochle of our family. You taught us the strength of standing up for what’s right; loving unconditionally and putting others first.
You raised 3 amazing and inspiring women who have continued to ensure your grace and integrity flow through the generations here and to come.

“There's room for many a more
I hear the bell and twinkle
A coming around the curve
She's playing all her steaming power
And straining every nerve
Oh get on board, get on board, get on board”

Forever missed and forever in our hearts ♥️ I love you

Irene was special and will be missed. Our thoughts are with you all. Love Mel and family ❤️

Sending all my love to you all. My memories of Mrs Egan are all very fond. She was so loving and generous with her time. I feel truly blessed to have spent time in her presence and have my formative years so positively affected by her.
