Born in Rumford, ME on January 8, 1927, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Helen (nee Goulet) Martineau. She was raised in Lewiston, ME. As a young woman she moved to Washington, DC to work for the Red Cross, and met her future husband Ken.

She and Ken moved to Pennell Manor in Aston to raise their family. She was an active member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church and was a part time employee at Strawbridge & Clothier in Springfield.

She and Ken spent many happy years in Village Green in Vero Beach, Florida during their retirement. They enjoyed spending time with her sister Jeannine and her husband Bob, and her brother Roger and his wife Geneva. Golfing at Dodgertown, card playing, bicycling, and visits to the beach kept them busy. They eventually returned to West Chester to be closer to their growing family.

Irene was the matriarch of the Gosselin family. She was a devoted wife and mother, and extremely proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her greatest joys were the times she spent with her family.
