Gough, Irene (nee Kniazyszcze/later Kniaz)
April 27, 1952 – February 28, 2015
Irene Agnes Gough succumbed to cancer at Calgary’s Rockyview General Hospital, age 62. She will be greatly missed by all her friends and family, especially by her husband, John and daughter, Caitlin. Irene was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; she and her family settled in Hamtramck, then Detroit, Michigan. While attending the University of Detroit, Irene and John married on December 16, 1972. After completing her University education, Irene and John moved first to Toronto and subsequently to Calgary. Irene is survived by her husband, John; daughter, Caitlin; mother Helena; sister, Angela; and brothers, Bernard and Leon. Irene’s dad passed away in 2002. Irene enjoyed many things, most of all talking to people; she had a smile for everyone. Irene also enjoyed: hiking, walking, reading, continuing education, teaching English as a second language and her employment with the Toronto Dominion Bank. Most importantly, Irene focused on making a home for Caitlin and John. Irene’s earthbound journey is complete and her heavenly journey begins.
