BODE, IA – The community of Bode is remembering Irene L. Curry, a dedicated professional and family woman who passed away on April 20, 2026, at the age of 91.
An Iowa woman with a remarkable 58-year career in bookkeeping, Irene worked for the Bode State Bank starting in 1968 and continued serving area farmers well into her 90s, retiring only months before her passing.
Known affectionately by her grandchildren as the Lefse Grandma, Irene was celebrated for her skills in the kitchen and her love for traditional dancing alongside her late husband, Howard. She was a graduate of Bode High School and a lifelong member of St. Olaf Lutheran Church.
Irene is survived by her daughter, Pam Jacobson; daughter-in-law, Lisha Curry; and a large family of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
