In Loving Memory of Irma Marlene Alban Palacios Wandemberg

Born August 9, 1942, Quito, Ecuador
Passed away January 10, 2025, 06:57 PM, Chester, VA, United States

Irma, a radiant and vibrant soul, left an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone she touched. Her life was a testament to the power of love, kindness, and generosity.

With her infectious smile and sparkling eyes, Irma illuminated the world around her. She was a loving mother, wife, and friend, always ready to offer a helping hand, a listening ear, or a comforting hug.

Irma had so much love for her two little dogs, Chica and Teddy.

Irma loved life in every way. She was a very cheerful, loving mother and friend to everyone. She loved church, music, dancing, dining, camping, movies ( Titanic her favorite ) theaters, and traveling on sunny days. She took great joy in wearing her little jewelry and carrying her beautiful smile wherever she went. And let's not forget she would never go nowhere without her Purse, bless her little heart which she carried her little tissue she cherished so much to blow her little nose .

As a caring mother, wife, and hard worker, Irma dedicated herself to her family and community. She always spread cheers and laughter wherever she went, leaving a trail of happiness in her wake.

Irma was a special lady with a tiny little voice that everyone smiled when they heard her speak. Her generosity knew no bounds, and she always welcomed others into her home with open arms. She would feed them, care for them, and make sure their bellies were full before they left.

Even when she wasn't well, Irma never showed her pain. Instead, she chose to carry a smile with her every day, a smile that would never be forgotten. We will always remember her with that beautiful smile, a testament to her strength and resilience.

We will miss Irma dearly, but her legacy of love, kindness, and generosity will continue to inspire and uplift us. As we navigate this new chapter without her physical presence, we take comfort in knowing that her spirit will always remain with us.

Rest in peace, dear Irma. Your love, laughter, and light will never be forgotten.
