She grew up in Caiplich Kiltarlity and immigrated to Canada in 1951 where she travelled to Alberta, met Harold and together they raised 6 children while travelling and working in many Canadian provinces. Irish loved to cook and garden. She enjoyed preparing meals for her family and friends and took great pride in the food she prepared at home and work. Irish was always ready for an adventure.
