IRENE T. DRUMMOND of AMHERST, MASS, May 22, 1931 – December 29, 2016
January 2nd, 2017 | 
Author: Amherst, Irene Therese Shea Drummond, died peacefully December 29, 2016 at the Center for Extended Care in Amherst. Born on May 22, 1931, she is survived by her husband Paul, her daughter Edie Pullen, her sons Peter and David, her grandchildren Nicole and Jessica Pullen and Emily and Katherine Drummond; her sister Nancy Shea Hughes, her daughter-in-law Patricia Drummond and son-in-law Scott Pullen, her goddaughter Rosemary Hughes Grant, and her many nephews, nieces and cousins.
Irene is preceded in death by her parents John and Mary Shea, her infant sons John and Andrew and her in-laws James Hughes, Robert and Henry Drummond and Joan Gibson.
Irene was a graduate of Emmanuel College of Boston and earned her Master’s degree in Chemistry from Boston College where she met her husband Paul. Her career ranged from being a research chemist, teaching biology at St. Francis School of Nursing in Trenton NJ, and leveraging her passion of reading – as a Trustee and later as Head Librarian for the Middleport NY library. She enjoyed reading to the children at story hour – often in inventive costumes – and in later years Irene worked at the Jones Library in Amherst MA.
In addition to raising her family, Irene was active with the Boy and Girl Scouts and was an Eucharistic Minister with the Catholic Church for over 35 years. She enjoyed applying her talents as an accomplished artist and socializing with her many friends.
Irene was blessed to have the support of her faith, family, friends, spirit and the excellent care from Deb Hall, Dr. Deborah Smith, Dr. Tina Furcolo and the Center for Extended Care in Amherst.
Irene is going home to God.
