Irene (Renie) Kinsler Phelps, 79, died in the early morning Saturday, April 19, 2008.

Daughter Nancy wrote: Her loving, fun spirit will live on in so many people whose lives she touched. She truly was a selfless woman who cared so greatly for others and lived her entire life of service. Her love for her children, grandchildren and many friends was unconditional in every way.
