Irene Rondinaro

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Irene Edith Rondinaro, who passed away on April 13th at the age of 87. Born on June 11th, 1936, in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, she grew up in Beaver Dams New York and later moved to Arlington, Texas . She was a dedicated and loving wife to her late husband Dominick (Nick) Rondinaro, and a devoted mother to her children Eric, Mary, Brian and Kim. She lived a fulfilling life, and was a woman of many talents. She was a devout Christian and devoted considerable time to studying the Bible and teaching her children and grandchildren how to live according to the Gospel. She had a passion for cooking and baking, and many of her homemade family dishes will remain the highlight of family gatherings. She also was an accomplished writer and spent her free time writing poems, children’s stories and memoirs about her life, documenting her youth in post-depression America as well as many historic events that she witnessed throughout her lifetime.
Irene was a kind and generous soul, always more concerned of others’ needs before her own. Her love and compassion extended to all those who knew her, and she will be remembered for her infectious smile and warm personality. She is survived by her sons Eric and Brian and daughters Mary and Kim, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, who will miss her dearly. A private funeral service will be held for immediate family members only.
Rest in peace, dear mother. You will forever be in our hearts and memories.
