Many years later Irene and her sister Shirley would relive that experience when they opened Carr's II on Dorchester Ave. As a teenager Irene worked as an usher at the Shubert Theater, which began a lifelong interest in the theater. Irene was a proud American who loved her country and politics; she was a great admirer of FDR and the new deal. A lifelong Democrat, Irene was keenly interested in world affairs and always believed that government should use its power to be a force for good in the world. For many years Irene worked at UMass Boston, from its humble days in the old Boston Gas Co. building to the sprawling campus at Columbia Point. She loved working with young people and forged lifelong friendships with many students. Irene was passionate about education and encouraged all of her children and grandchildren to reach their potential. Perhaps more than anything, Irene loved to spend time with her family and friends at her house overlooking Cape Cod Bay in Eastham. Building that house was her passion and she relished time spent there for graduations, summer vacations, holidays and just relaxing. We have lost our mother but everyone who knew Irene has lost a fiercly loyal and loving friend. She will be missed-Good Night Irene. Beloved wife of the late Michael F. Ryan.
