Irene went to O'Brien's Vermont College of Cosmetology in Burlington, Vt. She retired from IBM in 1994 and spent the next few years caring for her grandchildren.

She loved to read and build puzzles. She loved the snow and the changing seasons in Vermont. She was artistic and crafty. In her younger years she made dolls and doll clothing for her daughters and granddaughters. She painted beautiful acrylics on canvas paintings which are proudly displayed in the homes of her family. She gathered weekly around the card table with her siblings, cousins, grandkids, nieces, nephews and friends. The love of playing cards extended through the entire Potvin family. 

She had a love of water and enjoyed spending sunny, summer days by the river and loved taking her grandchildren to Brown’s River by her family farm. She will always be known as a caring, loving, and selfless mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.
