IRENE POCHOPSKY,

It is with great sadness that we announce that this well known pioneer of Kirkland Lake passed away at the Kirkland & District Hospital on October 9, 2008. Irene was born in Buckingham, Québec in 1920. Her parent moved to Kirkland Lake in 1924. Irene was raised and educated in Kirkland Lake. She married her childhood sweetheart Michael, affectionately known as “Porky”, who passed away in 1985. Irene was a tireless volunteer with Kiwanis and a true supporter of the community. She was proud of the fact that she and her friend Betty Ann LaBerge were known as FRIENDS OF THE ROCK and together they raised and donated three quarters of a million dollars to various charities in Kirkland Lake. Irene was named citizen of the year in 1996. Irene was predeceased by her husband Michael; parents Garnet and Victoria; brother Lionel, sister Doris and granddaughter Mandy. Irene leaves behind her son Kenneth, daughter Barbara, grandchildren Lori, Jeffery, David, Kerry, Andrew, Kristen, and great grandchildren Jade and Sara. Irene will be missed by all those who loved her. A Memorial Service will be held in the Teck-Hughes Chapel of the MONETTE & FRENCH FUNERAL HOME (450 Government Road West, Kirkland Lake ON.) on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. Irene will be laid to rest in the Kirkland Lake Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the V.O.N. (30 Second Street East Kirkland Lake ON. P2N 1R1) or to the Canadian Cancer Society (38 Government Rd., Kirkland Lake ON. P2N 2E2).Offer Condolence for the family of Irene Pochopsky

Ken & Barb and family. We were so saddened to hear of your mothers passing. What a wonderful lady and so full of life. Her laughter was infectious. Our parents shared many years of great times together. She will truly be missed. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal”. Hamilton and Best family

Barb, Ken & family, Irene was a wonderful friend. She was there when times were good with her gift of laughter. She was there when times were rough being caring & supportive. We grieve with you in the loss of your dear mother. Sincerely, Margaret Fong

Ken, Barb and Pochopsky family, Irene was our neighbour at the lake for the past 11 years. She was a great neighbour and great lady. Please accept our sincerest condolences. Bill & Jo-Ann Glover

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Irene was more than a cousin…she was the laughter in the family and her joy could be seen and felt by all who knew her. She will be missed.
