Irene B. Guenther, 94, of Blair and formerly of Waumandee, passed away on Sunday, June 10, 2018, at Gundersen Tri-County Memorial Hospital in Whitehall, WI.
Irene was born on July 30, 1923, to Thomas A. and Mary (Konter) Pumpuch in Independence. She was united in marriage to Albert Herman Guenther, Sr. on October 12, 1940, at Little Brown Church in Iowa. Together the couple farmed out in Waumandee, raising dairy cattle and poultry. Irene enjoyed gardening, canning, bowling with the Ma&Pa League, and Women's League, traveling to every state and Europe, and taking trips to the Ho-Chunk Casino in Black River Falls with Albert. She was a member of Christ Lutheran Church, where she was also involved in quilting, the Montana Homemakers, and assisted with elections for the Town of Montana.
