Irene M. Grenz, 83, Bismarck, ND, died Jan. 24, 2005, at a Bismarck hospital. Services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 29, at Bismarck Baptist Church, with the Rev. Donald Burnett officiating. Burial will be in Sunset Memorial Gardens, Bismarck.
Visitation will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. today and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at Eastgate Funeral Service, Bismarck, where a prayer service will be held at 7 p.m. Friday. Visitation will continue for one hour prior to the service at the church.
Irene was born March 30, 1921, to John and Katherine [Raile] Rau. She was raised and educated in Napoleon.
She worked on the farm at home until Dec. 10, 1944, when she married Roland Grenz. They moved to Bismarck in 1955. She worked with her sister, Laura Becker, for Interior Designs, doing painting and staining work for 18 years. She retired after her daughter, Brenda, was born and she became a full-time homemaker. After raising her daughter, she provided daycare for her two grandkids from 1992 until 2004.
Most important to Irene were her family and her church. She was a member of Bismarck Baptist Church. She always enjoyed preparing a lunch to share with family and friends who stopped by. She enjoyed reading, walking, shopping, cooking and working. Her favorite times of all were when she was taking care of her grandkids. She is dearly remembered as a woman who always put the needs of her family ahead of hers.
Irene is survived by her husband, Roland Grenz, Bismarck; one daughter, Brenda Grewatz, and her fiance, Bryan Njos, both of Bismarck; two grandchildren, Kayla and Austin Grewatz, Bismarck; one brother, Walter Rau, Napoleon; three sisters, Helen Wentz and Alvina Kemmet, both of Napoleon, and Laura Becker, Bismarck; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; three brothers, Ervin, Milton and Eugene; and two sisters, Alice Rau and Agnes Retzlaff.
