Irene, our sweet neighbour and dearest loved friend. We called you Mum and Gramma Beck for many reasons but most of all for teaching us life’s lessons and compassion for others. We will treasure our front porch chats, dress up parties, picnics, shopping marathons, travel adventures, gardening days and so so much more! We can imagine you right now dancing with Edi to Charles Aznavour smiling, laughing and at peace. 🎶 Good Night Irene 🎶 We will miss you dearly and will love you forever and ever and ever. ❤️ Liz, Larry, Ashley and Brittney.

Sending love and condolences to my family in Canada. I was very sad to hear of the passing of my Auntie Irene. I have so many happy memories of holidays in Killearn. The Easter egg hunts in the back garden. The Oor Willie or Broons annual every Christmas when me Greig and Alison were children. Picking pounds of brambles for my treasured mum Traudi to make bramble jelly. May you rest in peace Auntie Irene after a life well lived. Never more than a thought away, loved and remembered every day. Gwen and Jerry, Melton Mowbray UK.
Granma, I never thought I’d have to be writing this. I thought you were going to live forever. I always spoke so highly of you, how granmas garden was always perfect, how you had the work ethic and strength of a 20 year old. The trip to Trenton was one I always loved and had the opportunity to bring Lyndsay to Granmas house. You’re with Granpa again :) and I know he’ll be taking you to a dance both dressed to impress. Watching over your family I hope we make you proud. You’ll be remembered forever and Lyndsay and I look forward to sharing many memories with Isla of her Great Granma Beck. Love you Always. Your favourite Grandson ;) Lyndsay, Isla and Cooper

Our neighbourhood will not be the same without Irene. Her sense of humour and her caring nature helped us every day.
My sincere condolences to all the family. Grandma was one special lady and was always a joy to be around. I remember her birthday celebration in St. Marten’s that went on for a week and she just loved it. Rest In Peace Grandma.
Heartbroken to hear of dear Irene's passing. She was a very special lady who loved life and lived it to the full. She always made me so welcome whenever I visited or stayed at her home, both in Scotland and in Canada. She was a kind and generous host and I was always made to feel part of the family. She had a heart as big as her smile. Rest in peace Irene, you will be sorely missed. Love and heartfelt sympathy to the family.
It was with a heavy heart that Sandra and I heard of Mom’s passing. We both know that she loved her family and friends and was always up for a good laugh and a wee dance. She will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Edi will be waiting with open arms.
What a precious lady!! She will be missed by all and a beautiful legacy! Hugs to All family
My heartfelt condolences to the entire Beck family. Mum's sense of humour, love of fun and always warm welcome will be greatly missed! I can still see her dressed up with her doilies to act as a 'the maid' at dinner parties! Cherish your precious memories. Our thoughts are with you. xo
