Born Irene Frances (Sassen) Ridout on February 18th, 1924, she was the daughter of Herman and Rose (Jansen) Sassen. She received her education through St. Joseph’s School in Haverhill. On February 12th, 1947, she was united in marriage to Robert Ridout at the Immaculate Conception Church at Haverhill. They farmed all of their married lives in the Haverhill Community where she was a lifelong member of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and St. Monica’s Society. She recently became a member of St. Mary’s Parish in Marshalltown. Irene dearly treasured her family and friends and enjoyed playing cards with her sisters, going for Chinese food, running her grandchildren to events and was an official “honorary” member of the Knights of Columbus – having her own stool and parking place. She knew no strangers and was social to everyone. Irene also enjoyed dancing and even did the “Chicken Dance” as part of Matt Edel’s political career as “Matt’s Chicks.” She was born, raised, married and lived her entire life on the “home place”. Left to cherish her memory are her son, Terry (Nancy) Ridout of Haverhill, daughter-in-law Vincene Ridout of Marshalltown, five grandchildren: Jeff Ridout (Susie Buck) of Marshalltown, Johnny Ridout of Des Moines, Laura Ridout (Rod Stolzman) of Marshalltown, and Jared and Justin Ridout of Haverhill, two great-grandchildren Holly Ridout and D.J. Ridout, her only surviving sister Edna Daters of the Grandview Heights, as well as several nieces, nephews, and a host of friends. In death Irene was rejoined with her beloved husband Robert, beloved son Dennis, siblings Ray Sassen, Rose Lang, Mildred Zimmerman, infant brothers Elmer and Vincent and her parents.
