A 1942 graduate of Clymer High School, Irene was a former housekeeping supervisor at IUP responsible for Cogswell, Sprowls and Davis Halls. Earlier in her career, she was a buyer for the former Troutman’s Department Store in Downtown Indiana.

She was a member of Ss. Peter & Paul Orthodox Church, Homer City, and a former member of St. Michael Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of Clymer. Irene was a woman of great faith who regularly attended church and was active in many church functions. She volunteered at Indiana Regional Medical Center where she sold newspaper and other novelty items to visitors and patients. She was an avid bingo player who also liked to play cards with her friends. Irene loved to be outside gardening, enjoyed canning and cooking, and especially enjoyed spending time at her farm near Penn Run. More than anything, she adored her family, especially her grandchildren and great granddaughter.

On September 7, 1947 she married James Joseph Kuzemchak, her husband of 66 years who resides in Indiana.
