Born and raised in Bayonne, to John and Stella Sitarski. Irene resided in Clark for over 30 years with her beloved husband of 65 years, Henry V. Makowski, Sr. (2014).

She also enjoyed trips throughout New England during the fall foliage where she would find rustic antique and country stores to stop and shop in. Irene loved to cook; her sauce and meatballs will be missed, but not forgotten. She also loved to bake, clean and was an avid seamstress.

Makowski, Jr. and his wife Patricia; caring sister of Eugene Sitarski and Donna Ciszewski; devoted grandmother of Jeffrey, Michael, Danielle, Kathy, Robert, Keith, Heather, and Daniel; cherished great grandmother of Mary, Emma, Noah and Amelia; treasured companion to the family dog, Kona.
