Irene Viola Travis McGurrin, 93, of Hatboro, formerly of Dunmore, died Sunday morning at her residence in Luther Park, Hatboro. She is the widow of the late Francis R. McGurrin.

Born in Olyphant, daughter of the late Joseph and Alice Snyder Travis, she was a graduate of Dunmore High School. She was employed as a bookkeeper at Cook Coffee Company. Irene served as a Red Cross nurse’s aide during World War II. Later in life, she volunteered helping disabled children. She was a member of St. Joseph’s Church and senior citizen’s group in Warrington, Pa. She was an avid bowler and loved playing cards. Irene was a doting grandmother, a devoted friend, a cherished neighbor, firm in her faith in God, and loved to entertain. She was generous with others and frugal with herself. She never forgot a birthday or anniversary. She was a fountain of common sense and a tower of self-reliance.

Surviving are her only son Michael F. McGurrin , his wife Gena E. Cadieux, and her only grandchild, Glenn S. C. McGurrin, all of Vienna, Va.; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins, all of whom were precious to her.

In addition to her husband, Irene was preceded in death by her brothers Harry, Earl, Ells, Benjamin, and sister Alice Black.
