Irene Falencki

Irene Falencki (nee Rytel) age 95, of Lorain, passed away on Wednesday, August 02, 2017 at Mercy New Life Hospice, Lorain, following a lengthy illness.
Born on April 22, 1922 in Cleveland, she came to Lorain in 1951. She was a 1940 graduate of East High School, Cleveland.
Irene retired from May Co. in Sheffield Center where she worked for 15 years as a sales associate.
She was a member of the former St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, and the Altar and Rosary Society of the church.
Irene loved spending time with friends and family over a well prepared meal. She especially enjoyed the company of her neighbors while sitting outside catching up on the activities of the neighborhood after a day of gardening or baking delicious goodies. Irene shared that joy for years baking pumpkin rolls with her fellow parishioners at St. Stanislaus Church in Lorain. As a daughter, sister, wife and mother, Irene found her joy and peace in serving, sharing and giving more every day with a beautiful smile.
She is survived by her daughters, Annette (Thomas) Bruno; of Lorain and Denise (Robert) Mead of Stow; 3 grandchildren, Thomas (Kristyn) Bruno, Jr, Leslie Mead and Katherine Mead.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, Leo L. in 1997; a brother, Ted Rytel; and a sister, Sr. Mary Electa.
