Irene Stabley in her eighty-first year lost
a courageous and hard fought battle with cancer on Friday June 11,
2010 at Hospice of Lancaster County.
Irene was born in Chicago, Illinois to Frank
and Gertrude Kuszyuski. Irene loved the Chicago city life, and
enjoyed going out bowling and dancing with friends. In 1949 Irene
met Jere Stabley; the two were married on August 12, 1950 in
Chicago. This August would have been Irene and Jere's 60th
wedding anniversary.
Soon after marrying, Irene and Jere
relocated to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to begin their life
together. While raising a family of four, Irene worked as a
secretary for the School District of Lancaster for 11 years.
Irene lived a wonderful life filled with
family and friends. She began every day by completing the daily
newspaper's crossword puzzle. She remained active by joining a
bowling league and golfing at Olde Hickory Village. Irene also
took pleasure in spending time with friends, either by going out
to lunch, playing cards and mahjong, or taking a day trip to
Delaware Park or Hollywood Casino.
Irene also enjoyed traveling and taking
family vacations. Every winter Irene and Jere would spend several
weeks at The Villages in Florida to not only soak up the sun and
warm weather, but also spend time with friends. Throughout the
years Irene's entire family took multiple summer vacations
together to various destinations, such as Wildwood Crest, NJ and
Deep Creek Lake, MD.
Irene is survived by her loving husband,
three children: Nancy, wife of Dennis Balmer of Lititz, PA, Linda,
wife of Timothy Landis of Lititz, PA, David, husband of Deborah
Stabley of Bloomsburg, PA; six grandchildren and one great
grandson.
A Memorial Service will be held at Grandview
United Methodist Church, 888 Pleasure Road, Lancaster, PA on
Wednesday June 16, 2010 at 7 PM. The family will greet family and
friends before the service at 5:30 PM until time of service.
Contributions may be made in Irene's memory to Hospice of
Lancaster County, 685 Good Drive, Lancaster, PA 17604.
