Story Two

Person in a View

This month, I’d like to introduce to you Irene Suru. Irene moved to Kindersley in September 2000 with her twin sister Margaret. Previously, she had lived for a short time with her brother in Kerrobert and, before that, in Penticton, BC. Irene was born on July 1st, 1949 in Spiritwood, SK, and wants you to know that she was born first, having a 15-minute head start on her sister Margaret!! She has 3 older brothers, Steve, Joe, and Lloyd. Steve lives on a farm in Kerrobert, Joe lives in Penticton and Lloyd lives in Rocanville, SK. Her school days were spent in Kerrobert. In 1975, Irene and Margaret moved to Penticton with their parents and lived there until coming back to Saskatchewan in 1999. Irene has 4 nieces and 3 nephews and also some great nieces / nephews. Her favourite colour is blue and she likes movies such as “The Sound of Music”, “Mary Poppins”, and “Grease”. You will always hear Irene singing if the radio is on and she seems to know all the hit tunes. She also likes Neil Diamond, The Eagles and The Rolling Stones. In 1990, Irene, Margaret and their Mom took a Pilgrimage Tour to Yugoslavia and took in some sights in London, England. Irene likes to play ping-pong, basketball and volleyball. One of her hobbies includes latch hook, which she says is fun to do. On Tuesdays she enjoys bowling and takes in floor hockey on Thursdays. Irene resides at Group Home 1 with her sister Margaret. It’s great to have you here!!
