Obituary for Irene Pearl Boling

Irene Pearl Boling of Elma passed away Saturday, March 17, 2018 at Montesano Health and Rehabilitation Center. She was 96. Irene was born on September 21, 1921 in Hoquiam, WA to Thomas and Zella (Burns) Freeman. At 7yrs old Irene moved to Elma, WA and was raised by her dad Tommy and step mom Quinnie Freeman and has called the town home ever since. We want to thank the staff at Montesano Health and Rehab for their loving care.

On June 7, 1940 Irene married Kenneth Boling. They spent 67 loving years together until his passing on May 7, 2008.

In the early 60’s Irene became employed by the Elma School District as a cook. She also worked for Oakhurst and most importantly was a homemaker for the family. She loved her family. Irene crocheted baby sweaters and afghans for all her grandbabies. They will be forever cherished as gifts from grandma.

Irene is survived by her sons Kenneth (Lois) Boling of Olympia and Thomas (Teresa) Boling of Elma; daughters Barbara Daniels of Vancouver and Linda (Bill) York of Vashon Island; step sister Barbara Mandish; 10 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Kenneth Boling.
