Life story

Irene Marie Hills.

Our true Queen.

Sister to Margaret & Sandra.

Mum to Alexander, Laura & Shirley.

Granny to many and great granny to many more!

She loved My fair lady, The sound of music, King & I, Carousel, Calamity Jane and most musicals from that era.

She loved fish & chips, onion rings, nuggets, shortbread and a drop of bacardi!

She loved bingo, horse racing and many card games.

But mostly she loved her family and we love her.

Always loved and always missed.

Queen Irene.

My precious Queen. I still miss you so so much, all the things you haven't been here for, you never met my living children and I so wish you were here to see them. I know you would've loved them and they would've loved seeing their great granny just like I did. I wish we got to do all the things and cruises we talked about! I still think of you whenever I get nuggets from mcdonalds! I miss you now and always Love you forever my Queen Irene. Ami x
