Irene Ditzel (neeBarno), age 88 of Wayne and formerly of Lehighton, Pennsylvania, died on Saturday, September 6, 2014.
Born in Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania, deep in coal mining country, Irene moved to New Jersey when she was in her early 20’s, seeking out better employment. She settled in Irvington, NJ and eventually began working as a tax clerk for the township. She retired in 1987 after twenty five years there.
Irene was a good cook and loved tending to her garden. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star for many, many years and served as a ‘den mother’ when her son Ronald was in Cub Scouts. She was a good mom and he will miss her dearly.
Irene met her husband Raymond in Irvington, NJ and they were married in 1948. They enjoyed sixty four years together before Ray’s sudden passing in January of 2013.
Irene is survived by her son Ronald and his wife Susan of Wayne, three grandchildren; Douglas, Daniel, and Lauren Ditzel, two sisters; Elizabeth Walls of Nesquehoning, PA and Margaret Plummer of Florida, two brothers; Daniel Barno and his wife Frances, and Joseph Barno. She was predeceased by her parents; Stephen and Mary Barno, by one sister; Helen Brunda, and two of her brothers; Stephen and Andy Barno.
