Irene was born on September 27, 1926 in Leroy, La.
Left to cherish her memories are her four children, Ricky (Theresa) Castille, Becki (Bob) Johnson, Daisy Castille, and Annette Guidry and her fiancée Wynn Carbo, all of Carencro; two stepsons, Bobby (Peggy) Castille, and Carrol Castille, all of Lafayette; one sister, Hazel Faulk of Lafayette; one brother, Edward Barras of Mooringsport, La.; twenty grandchildren, twenty-nine great-grandchildren, and four great great-grandchildren.

Irene was a resident of Lafayette for most of her life, and was very proud of her Cajun heritage. She was a master in the kitchen, always making sure to feed whomever was visiting. She was an avid gardener, and enjoyed canning many jars of her freshly grown fruits and vegetables. She also had a passion for sewing, crocheting, and fishing.
She will be remembered as one who loved her family unconditionally. We are content she is at peace with God, and are glad her suffering has ended.
Pallbearers will be Sean Gautreaux, Tra Dupuis, Johnathan Castille, Derek Johnson, Eliot Johnson, Jared Capritto, Andy Castille, and Cameron Guidry. Honorary pallbearers include Jimbo Castille, Joey Castille, Carlton Castille, and Norman "Silo" Solomon.
The family requests that visitation be held Saturday morning from 9:00 am until time of services.
