Irene Marie Krzmarzick was born October 10, 1922 on the family farm in Home Township- Brown County to John and Annie (Ziegenhagen) Krzmarzick. She attended county grade school at Home Township District 23. On April 25, 1945, Irene was united in marriage to Walter E. Seifert at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Sleepy Eye. The couple lived on several farms before moving to Seifert's Grove by Clear Lake. Irene started her job at Martin Luther College in the dining area, and eventually moved to New Ulm after Walter passed in 1981. Irene was a member of Cathedral Holy Trinity, and her faith was very important to her. She enjoyed many hobbies in her spare time including reading, gardening, shopping, and watching the Twins play baseball. Irene loved spending time with her family and friends. She was a wonderful cook, and her family fondly remembers her hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas for many years. She cooked amazing German dishes including pork chops, sauerkraut, dumplings and Smear Kuchen. Blessed be her memory.
