Omg I’m so sadden and shock to hear this sad story. She will be missed very much. She was my third grade teacher at Fourth st. She also taught my two children. Now that I’m here typing this out brings back so many memories. I’m really going to miss her.

I was employed by the US Army audit agency in Pasadena with Ted Yonedhige. We went on to work with the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). Although unacquainted with Irene, I know that she is being sorely missed but also know that she is with her life’s companion Ted.
