Irene Ila Voigt
March 15, 1934 — March 18, 2013
Irene Ila Voigt (nee Manthe) was born March 15th, 1934 in rural Pemberton, MN to Emil A. and M. Mildred Manthe (nee Blaisdell) at their home.
She attended Pemberton Public School for 10 years before transferring to Dr. Martin Luther High School and College. She graduated from high school in 1952 and attended college there for one year and one session of summer school. Irene then taught school for one year at St. Bartholomew's in Kawkawlin, MI.
While attending college at she met and fell in love with Wally R. Voigt. They were married August 3rd, 1954 in Alma City, MN. God granted them a happy life and blessed them with five children, all of Red Wing, MN: Bruce (Beth), James "Jim" (Jamie), Charles "Chuck", John "A. J." (Sara) Voigt, and Ruth Fitschen (Ralph).
She taught school, raised five children with her husband, worked at Durkee Atwood for seven years, and was a sales representative for Avon for over 20 years. Irene treasured her faith and remained a life-long Christian. She was a charter member of Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church here in Red Wing, regularly receiving the life-giving spiritual nourishment of the Gospel in Word and Sacrament and sharing in the blessing of Christian fellowship. Her warm smile and kind ways will always be remembered as a fruit of her faith. Irene taught Sunday school, sang in the choir for many years and was a member of the Berean's Women's Group. Her hobbies included stamping, making homemade cards, crocheting and knitting afghans and gifts for many family members and friends. Irene immensely enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In spite of the trials the Lord permitted to come upon her, the Holy Spirit preserved her faith and on March 18th, 2013 Jesus delivered her from this vale of tears to the joy and peace of life with her Savior in heaven. Her earthly days were 79 years, 3 days. Her heavenly days are forever!
Irene's loved ones still remaining in their time of grace include her husband Wally, four children and their spouses, 14 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Irene was preceded in death by one son Charles "Chuck" Voigt, her parents; brother, Paul Manthe; sister, Loretta Schlicht and infant brother, Eugene Manthe.
