February 9, 1926 - July 16, 2024

It is with great sadness that the family of Irene Chambers announce the passing of their dear Mother on July 16, 2024 at the age of 98 years.

She will be greatly missed by her sons:  Ivan (Nancy), Stephen (Carmel):  Daughters: Jessie (Anthony), Marie (Pius), Beulah, Selma (Hiram), Eleven (11) grandchildren:  Randy (Joan), Tammy (Jason), Dwayne (Dale), Jamie (Sylvia), Ivan (Rossi), Kenneth (Xiao), Adam (Olivia), Robert (Lisa), Wendy (Barry), Ivan JR ( Candace), and Heather ( Jussi), Seventeen (17) great grandchildren and Five (5) great-great grandchildren.  Also left behind is a sizeable fur-baby family, as well as a large group of extended family and devoted friends. 

Irene is predeceased by:  her husband Abraham Chambers, parents Jacob and Blanche Gould, sisters: Josie, Amelia, Shirley, Alma, Jane, Mary Anne, Hilda and Vivian; Brothers Roland and Earl.

Irene was born in Bear Cove and it was there that she married and raised her family.  After Abe’s death in 1990, she moved to Labrador City, a place she had visited many times previously and loved very much.  The last four months of her life were spent at the Ivy Durley Place.

She loved to be busy.  If she wasn’t quilting, she was knitting, making pickles or pies.   She was actually quite famous by numerous folks in Labrador for any and all of her talents.  She donated quilts for charity events, knitted mittens and socks for new immigrants and probably gave out thousands of knitted dishcloths.  Christmas saw her making as many as 25 pies to be delivered to various friends. Bingo was her favourite social event outside of the apartment, hockey ( most notably the Montreal Canadians) was her inside joy. Her favourite season was Hockey Season.

Throughout her life, Irene was very generous with her time and her talents, and was appreciative of anything and everything that people did for her.

Special thanks to the staff at Ivy Durley  for the amazing care she received during her short stay there. She was always full of praise for all the workers, and she loved the food!  She was happy there.  A special notice to her lovely friend and roommate Lucy LaVallee ( whom Mom referred to as “my lifesaver “). We would also like to thank the staff at the ICU at Charles S Curtis Memorial Hospital for their care during her short stay there.
