Irene was born February 23, 1938, in West, she daughter of August and Anna (Nors) Kocian. Irene was a graduate of West High School, Class of 1957. On June 18, 1956, she united in marriage with her devoted husband, Floyd Wolf, in the very community she called home. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Irene was a lifelong and faithful member of St. Mary's Catholic Church of the Assumption, where she actively participated in various church and community organizations, including the Catholic Daughters of America Court #829, St. Anne's Altar Society, West Women's ACTS, and SPJST Lodge #54. Irene dedicated her professional life as a Medical Assistant at the West Medical & Surgical Clinic, where her caring nature and devotion to her patients were evident. Her journey began at Friendship Cafe, where she first met Floyd, setting the stage for a beautiful partnership and family life. An avid quilter and crocheter, Irene found joy in creating handmade treasures for her loved ones. She had a green thumb, cultivating her yard and tending to her plants. Inspired by a passion for genealogy, she delighted in uncovering the stories of her ancestors. Thanksgiving dinners were made even more special by her and Floyd's delicious dressing, while her homemade buchta's and pickles became family favorites. Irene's unwavering faith in God was a guiding light in her life, and she diligently prayed her rosary and shared her Catholic faith with family. She cherished family gatherings, relishing every moment spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
