I’m Irma’s cousin Diana Worrall from Naples, FL. It’s strange, I’ve had almost no contact with Irma as an adult, but have fond memories of interacting and playing during family gatherings as a child. It’s funny how the mere mention of someone’s name takes you down memory lane to your childhood and such happy times. This is how I will be remembering Irma. May she Rest In Peace. My sincere condolences to her surviving family.

There was a unique group of women who met & worked together at Northwestern Mutual 50 years ago. Remarkably, five of us (Bev Schluenz, Jan Bolan, Pam Smith, Irma Anderson & myself) have enjoyed each other’s company for lunch gatherings twice a year for 40 years. My other connection with Irma is that my husband & I spent four years living in Beloit, Irma’s home town. The group even made the trip to Beloit for lunch. We also both worked for some of the same court reporters after leaving NML. Our group has now lost two long-time friends so it will be so much harder to carry on.
