Irene was born on March 27, 1933, in Pugwash, to the late Ivan and Elsie (Layton) Forshner. She was a member of the Westchester United Baptist Church in Westchester, and over the years was actively involved in the UCW. She was a lover of animals of all kinds, especially her beloved dogs and cats. Mom was a talented seamstress, knitter, and quilter. She and her late mother made many beautiful quilts together. These quilts would become tokens of love to her family. It was a regular sight to arrive at Mom's house to see a quilt in progress. She enjoyed gardening and had a love for vibrant coloured flowers; a hobby she shared with her late husband, Allen. Baking was another of Mom's passions. Each Christmas, we could all count on receiving a tin of her freshly baked goodies; a gift made with love. Mom is survived by her daughter-in-law, Marcia Mattinson, Lawrencetown, HRM; her children Billy Mattinson, Pugwash, Ronnie (Mary) Mattinson, Pugwash, Carol-Lee (Eric) Dotten, Lantz, Kelly Ann (Steven) Parker, Pugwash and Jeannie (Walter) Allen, Collingwood; her stepchildren, Marc (Barb) Weatherbey, Debert, Edward (Pascal) Weatherbey, Quebec, Sharon (Luc) Rodrigue, Crossroads, Alberta, Melanie (Daniel) Siple, Wetaskwin, Alberta, Tanya (Douglas) Weatherbey-Wile, Bible Hill, Alene Weatherbey, Tatamagouche and Elsie Beal, Tatamagouche.
