Irene attended school in McGrath graduating in 1960. Following school, she worked as a secretary for Mora Creamery. She later moved to Cloquet and Brookston. On June 22, 1974, Irene married Eugene "Beanie" Couture in Watertown, South Dakota. They lived in Cloquet and were foster parents to many children through the years. Irene catered at the Eagles Club in Cloquet and also worked for over 20 years at The Pantry in Scanlon until retiring in 2003 to take care of her grandchild, Amaya.
