Irene has worked for over 30 years in Multnomah's stewardship office - now called "Planned Giving." The first 15 years she worked here with her husband Pete, until his sudden death in 1990. They had four children and she now has six grandchildren - who are her "pride and joy." Born in Minnesota, her family (including nine children) all moved to Portland in 1950. She had read the "Out of the Mixing Bowl" articles by Doris Aldrich in the Moody Monthly, never dreaming she would eventually marry into the Multnomah family and then work here. She is thankful for the privilege of working with the wonderful friends of Multnomah who pray for and support this strategic ministry.
