Irene Bernardette ‘Ine’

 

Passed away peacefully at home in North Bendigo, surrounded by her loving family on March 31st, 2026. Aged 69 years.

Beloved partner of Craig (Fin).

Much loved mother of Sarah-Jane and Cara, pseudo mum to Kiri, Niki, Harry, Sydney and Arabella. Treasured mother-in-law to Marty, Tyson and Damon.

Adored Grammy to Mckale, Sammy, Ollie, Will, Maxi and Bobi and proud GG to Daisy and Makoa.

A deeply loved sister to Des, Mary, Julie, Margaret and Deb,
and reunited with Vivienne.

Ine lived a life of strength, resilience and unconditional love.

She faced life’s challenges with quiet courage, carrying more than her share, yet always placing others before herself.
She was the steady, guiding presence so many turned to — a source of comfort, wisdom and unwavering support through every stage of life.

The quiet anchor of her family, she gave endlessly of her time, her warmth and her heart, creating a lifetime of love, laughter and cherished memories that will never fade.

Always in our hearts and forever the brightest star in the night sky!

It has been quite a journey. Things won’t be the same. Road trips, holidays, coffee and cake, or just sitting in front of the telly of a nighttime. Everything was so easy doing it with you. You were just so beautiful. Such wonderful memories that will be with me forever.

Goodbye beautiful Ine xx
