Irene Barbara Mountisne's Obituary
Irene Barbara Mountisne
1928 - 2019
"Be good, be kind, and be honest"
were her life-long words of advise.
Irene Barbara Mountisne passed away from this life peacefully June 13, 2019 at her home surrounded by her beautiful family. She was Born June 14, 1928 in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, a daughter of Frank and Albine (Bohonko) Pieczynski. Irene married her sweetheart Dominick Michael Mountisne on February 5, 1949. From their marriage came two wonderful children, Nancy and Nick.
We had to say goodbye to one of the most wonderful people we have ever known. Words cannot express how much we love her and how much she will be greatly missed. She was a kind, gentle, and patient mother, always unselfish and willing to give of herself. She was an amazingly wonderful grandmother, that was adored by all! She was the epitome of selfless love. Most genuine human! She painted the perfect picture of what a grandma should be! Each one of them felt like they were her favorite. She was a friend to Christ; she loved him deeply and lived her life as a quiet example of gentleness, patience, meekness, endurance and strength.
Irene had a passion for bowling and loved to be on bowling leagues where she met life long friends. Her family and many friends will always remember her sweet personality, kindness, laughter, and strength -- even when facing difficult situations. Rene had many friends and family that she genuinely cared about, would always make them feel loved and welcomed. Above all, she lived the principle of “love one another as I have loved you” every day of her life. She treated everyone she met with love and acceptance, she absolutely loved people.
Irene served in her church (Catholic Saint Rose of Lima) for many years. She was a long time member of the Council of Catholic Women at Saint Rose of Lima. In 1989 she was named the Saint Rose Woman of the Year. She was presented with a crystal bowl for serving as a faithful Sacristan for many years. She was so devoted to her church and was such an inspiring example to all. Such a great example of Christlike unconditional love. She would always leave you with Be Good, Be kind, Be honest and always encouraging us to be the best we could be.
We feel so very blessed to have had Irene apart of our lives, thank you so much for all the wonderful memories they are PRICELESS… We are completely the LUCKIEST!
We will all miss her greatly! UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!
