Irma Mooney
d. March 17, 2013
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.
She was born November 5, 1928 in Stillwell, GA to the late Archibald and Leitner (Berry) Rahn. She is predeceased by her husband Richard "Jack" Mooney, sisters Vivian (Virgil) Zoller, Janet (Jim) Wiseman and brother Lawrence (Thelma) Rahn.
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. Many of these acquaintances became dear and cherished friends. Others may recognize Irma as one of the "sample ladies" at the Tops Market in Batavia. In retirement Irma enjoyed quilting, baking and tending the extensive gardens around her Oakfield home. She also enjoyed travel including trips to Hawaii, Alaska, Europe and Ireland before Parkinson's Disease robbed her of the ability to do those things she loved.
Irma is survived by her children Joanne (John Myers) Mooney of San Diego; Richard (Julie Lenhard) of Fairport; Douglas (Ruthann Schulte) of Fortuna CA; Tina (John) Buckholz of Burke, VA; Amy (Phillip Alvarez) of San Diego; sisters Anna (James) Caire of Biloxi MS; Marise (Henry) Wilkins of Guyton; brother Berry (Sally) Rahn of Springfield GA.
