Irma R. Mooney, 84 of Oakfield, passed away Sunday March 17, 2013, with her family at her side at the Highland's Living Center in Pittsford, NY from complications related to Parkinson's Disease.

Irma was an active member of the Padre Pio Parish in Oakfield. For over 35 years, scores of women welcomed Irma into their homes as a representative of the Stanley Home Products company.
