Obituary of Irene Beck

It is with deepest sorrow we announce the passing of Irene Beck (Stoutenburg) who left us peacefully at home surrounded by the love of her family on June 11, 2017 at age 84. A beloved wife and best friend to Edward Beck (Apfelbeck) to whom she was married for 62 years. An inspirational and supportive mother to Nancy Pettit and Gary Beck and a special friend to Lesley. She is survived by her brothers Bruce and Donna Green, and Bill and Kay Stoutenburg. Irene has now re-united with her sisters Jean Holmes and Doreen Stacey. Irene was a wonderful, caring grandmother to Kristen Mussio and her husband Jeff, Brandon Pettit and his wife Maggie, Jennifer Beck and her husband Ben, and Kelly Beck and her fiancé Brien. She felt incredibly fortunate to also be a great grandmother to Myah, Matteo and Sophia and her values as a compassionate, caring person will live on in them. Irene was a member of Beta Sigma Phi for 55 years. With Ed by her side she lived an exciting, full life curling, golfing, travelling. As avid sailors she and Ed spent many amazing years in Bayfield enjoying those beautiful sunsets on the waters of Lake Huron. She truly was a kind and genuine person who always put others needs ahead of her own. Her family would like to thank the nursing staff at Victoria Palliative Care for the incredible care they provided along with Dr.'s Lenehan, Malik and Tansia for their compassion and comfort. Also C.C.A.C. for making it possible to fulfill her wish to come home. Friends and family will be received on Monday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, where the memorial service and celebration of Irene's life will be held on Tuesday, June 20th, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. Memorial donations may be made to the London Regional Cancer Program and New Apostolic Church.
