Irene Elvy (Dahl) Wilson passed away peacefully surrounded by family on October 23, 2023, at Points West Living.
Irene was born on December 4, 1931, to Norwegian immigrants Lars and Borghild Dahl at their family home by Donalda, Alberta. She shared this birthdate with her twin sister Ida. Making Irene the youngest of eleven children.
She married Carol (Carvol) Wilson on December 12, 1949 in Stettler. Their son Keith was born a couple of years later. They moved to Red Deer in 1955 where their daughter Gwen was born.
Carl and Irene loved to bowl, camp, and dance. But mostly Irene loved to spend time with her siblings, especially Ida. Every holiday found this large family together having potlucks and playing cards. Every get-together was a large family event.
Irene was very interested in her Norwegian heritage and joined the Norwegian Laft Hus and later the Sons of Norway.
She was predeceased by her husband Carl, her parents Lars and Borghild, and her siblings Harry, Theodore (Edna), Myrtle (Swen), Margaret (Sam), Torsten, Evelyn (Ray), Elmer, Bernice (Cliff), Edna (Gerald), and twin Ida (Elliott).
Irene leaves behind her son Keith (Debbie) and daughter Gwen. As well as three grandsons, Scott (Michel), Jason (Holly) and Devon. And four great-grandchildren, Simon, Danica, Gracie and Hannah. Also, her sister-in-law Laura and many nieces and nephews.
We would like to thank the Caregivers at Points West Living for their excellent care of our Mother.
