Mrs Houston, affectionately known as Mom, has always been a special person in my life. Marilyn and I were born three days apart and Mom Houston was the second person to ever hold me. Growing up, she was a neighborhood mom to the Farrell Steel City project kids. A fond memory of Mom Houston was that she was always around to catch us when we were being mischievous like she had eyes behind her head. I guess she practiced the old saying that it takes a village to raise a child. She will always hold a special place in my heart. Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 NIV
The Chambers Family (Alan, Deborah, Alan) left a message on February 1, 2025:
Aunt Ira was a blessing to our family. She was a wise, thoughtful, insightful woman with a great sense of humor and a zest for life. She will be missed, but never forgotten! We love you, Aunt Ira.
