Irene Caroline Struck

Irene Struck passed away peacefully and went home with Jesus on July 29, 2024. Irene was born April 25, 1927, to Albin Struck and Daisy (Brunninga) Struck in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she remained a lifelong resident. 

She graduated from Murray High in 1944 and continued her education at the American Institute of Banking. Irene worked for First National Bank of St. Paul for 24 years before retiring. 

She was an avid reader and community volunteer, and a member of the Falcon Heights Planning Commission, the Lion’s Club and several area orchestras. She enjoyed playing the violin and an occasional clarinet and always took a keen interest in area politics and city activities. 

Irene is fondly remembered for the sparkle in her eyes and the example she set with her humility, intelligence, strength, independence, and resilience, and she will be dearly missed by those who knew her.
