Irene Beebe

In Loving Memory of Irene Beebe

October 12, 1943 - January 8, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Irene Beebe, who left this world surrounded by love and family. She was a beacon of selflessness, kindness, and resilience, and her life touched so many in profound ways.

Irene was the embodiment of love and compassion, always placing the needs of others before her own. Her warm presence made her not just a mother, but a second mom to so many of her children’s friends. Her home was a haven for all, filled with laughter, baked treats, and the comforting knowledge that you were always welcome.

Her kindness extended far beyond people to include animals as well. Over the years, she rescued and cared for dozens of animals, treating each one with the same gentle compassion that defined her life. She had a knack for creating joy in the smallest of gestures—baking cakes and cookies, knitting hats and slippers, and sewing Halloween costumes, always with her own personal touch.

Irene was steadfast in her love and support. She never missed a single event—be it for her children or grandchildren—cheering loudly and offering unwavering encouragement. She celebrated every victory and comforted every defeat, reminding all those she loved that they were enough just as they were.

In her later years, she faced family health challenges with grace, faith, and determination. Her resilience in the face of adversity was a testament to her strength and spirit, teaching all of us that love and faith can carry us through even the darkest moments.

Above all, Irene loved unconditionally and endlessly. Her love was a constant, a foundation for her family, and a gift she shared with everyone she encountered. She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering devotion that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Though her passing leaves an ache that words cannot express, we are grateful for the gift of her life. She was extraordinary—a wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be missed deeply and remembered always.

Irene leaves behind her loving husband of 60 years, Carl Beebe, along with her sons Carl (Lisa) and Steve (Carrie) and her grandchildren, Rob, Amber, Jonah and Elle.

A private memorial service will be held to celebrate her life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor her memory by extending an act of kindness to someone in need.

While at www.amsfuneralhomes.com please take time to sign Irene's guestbook and/or share a memory with her family. 

Rest in peace, Mom. Your light will forever guide us.
