Irene Dauenhauer

Irene Ida Renaud Dauenhauer was born on September 20, 1922 and joined her beloved husband Mark John Dauenhauer on July 10, 2016. Irene was born in Prince Rupert, British Columbia to Albert Renaud and Ida Mae Kinshella and moved to Washington state as a child. She had two younger brothers Thomas and Charles who have preceded her in death. She moved to Seattle as a young woman where her love of photography began as she worked for Kodak. She later moved on her own to San Francisco where she met Mark after World War II. They married on February 14, 1948 and moved to Santa Rosa, CA. They adopted two daughters Linda Elizabeth in 1952 and Annette Marie in 1958. She was a wonderful loving mother who devoted her life to her family. Her husband Mark passed in 1995 at which time she sold her car, bought a new truck and a camera and took off throughout the west to take scenic photos. Her marvelous eye for adventure and composition is evident in her home gallery of the vast spectrum of God\u0027s creations. She is survived by her daughters and seven grandchildren.
