Irene was born Dec. 16, 1915 in Manitowoc, daughter of the late Mathias and Odelia
Trost Hein. On June 27, 1936 she married Aloi Gadzinski at St. Andrew Catholic
Church in Manitowoc. Alois preceded her in death on Dec. 30, 1993. Her employment
spanned 25 years with the Mirro Aluminum Company of Manitowoc. She was also a
member of the St. Therese Society of St. Andrew Catholic Church.
Survivors include five sons and four daughters-in-law: Michael Gadzinski, at home,
Patrick and Marge Gadzinski, Ronald and Marilyn Gadzinski, Conrad and Sharon

four great-grandchildren and eight step-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other
relatives and friends. She was also preceded in death by eight brothers, Philip,
Nicholas, Clarence, William, Peter, Mathias, Joe and Leonard.
The family will greet relatives and friends Tuesday morning at St. Andrew Catholic
Church from 9 a.m. until the time of Mass at 10:30 a.m. The Pfeffer Funeral Home
is assisting the family with funeral arrangements.
As we reminisce over the years we shared with Irene, we remember the newer ending
love she had as a wife, mother and grandmother. Her days would include watching her
sons play horseshoes, playing cards with her grandchildren, her dog Gretchen,
watching game shows and always finishing her days with the rosary. Her faith took
care of her on earth and brought her into the kingdom of heaven. We love you will
miss you.
