LaSalle
Irene Marie LaSalle age 75 passed away suddenly at home on October 31, 2022. Lifelong resident of Southwest Philadelphia and beloved nursery schoolteacher. Irene devoted her life to her husband, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and students. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and made herself available to assist loved ones. Irene dedicated herself to her mom, Anne’s, Alzheimer, and hospice care and cared for her mother-in-law, Mary, through Mary’s ninetieth year. She enjoyed dancing and was a great conversationalist. She made personal connections with people and easily made new friends wherever she went. Irene prayed for strangers with the same commitment she prayed for familiars. She was a beautiful, giving person and gave of herself exactly like the tree in the children’s book, The Giving Tree. She will be missed beyond what words could possibly express.
Daughter of the late William P. & Anne Roberts.
