The daughter of Roy A. and Agnes M. Avey, Irene was born Nov. 1, 1929, in Renton, Wash. The family moved to Redding in 1939 so her father could work on the building of Shasta Dam.

Mrs. Granger worked as a receptionist in Redding for many years prior to her move to Weaverville.

She was a 50-year member of Redding Chapter #44 Order of the Eastern Star where she was a past matron and past deputy grand matron. She was a member of the Weaverville Church of the Nazarene where she attended weekly Bible study and grew in her love of the Lord.
She was a lifetime baseball fan, especially of the Giants; loved to knit; loved the girls of the class of '47; but most of all enjoyed her grandchildren, her greatgrandchildren and getting her family together, wherever that might be and for whatever the occasion.
Mrs. Granger is survived by her children Greg Lowden of Weaverville, Margie George (Walt) of Cheyenne, Wyo., and Bob Lowden (Laura) of Redding; and six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren from her marriage to Harley Lowden.
