Irene Patricia Lanoue, 98 passed away on March 7 ^th 2023 peacefully in her sleep at Maple Lane Nursing Home. She was born on June 1 ^st , 1924 to Peter and Maria (Parisi) Carbone in Jersey City, New Jersey. She was the third of six children.

After graduating from Ferris High School, she worked at Westinghouse in Jersey City. On April 19 ^th 1953 she married Rouville Lanoue after which they settled in Orleans. Until her two sons were born, she helped at the family business, Lanoue Bros. IGA in Orleans. Having come from the city she never had a driver's license. She wanted to work and not stay home so she took lessons from next door neighbor and driving instructor at OHS, Roger Barton.  After her sons went to school she worked at Green Mt Fence in Glover and then at the Orleans Medical Clinic until her retirement in 1989. She and her husband retired to Florida but came back to Vt for the summers. While in Florida they joined bowling leagues, played cards with neighbors and relatives and loved to entertain visitors. Going to the senior discount Friday night buffets were a given every week. On her TV would always be a sports related show. She loved watching baseball games no matter who was playing.   Before and after moving back to Vt they both kept busy volunteering their time at the Lake Region Senior Center. She was President, bookkeeper and kitchen helper for almost 40 years of her life at the Center. This was a big part of their lives and where they got to meet many of their friends. Being from a large Italian family you can only imagine the joy she got from making family feasts for any holiday. Consistently being the last person to sit at the table after making sure everyone got that that extra helping on their plate.
