Irene H. Bacon, 86, of Wilbraham, formerly of Chicopee, passed away peacefully on October 3, 2024. Born in Clarkstown, New City, NY, she was the daughter of Blanche (Gonet) Bacon and Herbert Bacon. Irene worked for many years at United bank where she met her dear friend Joanne Rollins, and the pair immediately formed a strong friendship that has lasted throughout the years. Irene was a remarkable person with a deep love for Elvis music, classic movies, and animals. She enjoyed spending time with her friends and especially enjoyed going out to lunch with them. Irene will be fondly remembered for her caring personality, her lively spirit, and her wonderful sense of humor that always brought joy to those around her.
Irene leaves several loved ones including her special longtime friends Joanne Rollins, Marlene Danio, and Bonnie Galanski. A heartfelt thank you goes out to Irene's dedicated caregivers of 10 years Leta, Candi, and Karen who provided her with compassionate care and support during her time of need.
