Irene Joan Cummins Enterline .
Beloved Mother, Grandmother & Friend Irene Joan Cummins Enterline, age 84, of Waterford, passed away Sunday, August 22, 2010 at Hamot Medical Center surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Shepton Mallet, Somerset, England on May 2, 1926, a daughter of the late William and Beatrice Cummins. Irene grew up in England and met the love of her life, an American soldier named George Daniel Enterline, during the difficult years of WWII. She had vivid memories and could give detailed accounts of her experiences, while surviving the bombing of England and the subsequent years until the end of the war. Irene and George were wed on October 29, 1945 in Somerset, England. Irene emigrated to the United States via a 6 week voyage at the age of 19 with her infant daughter in tow, while her husband returned to the U.S. with his Army unit on a different ship. She and George lived in several communities in Western Pennsylvania, Worthville, Grove City and eventually settled outside of Waterford, Pa. Irene was a homemaker. She enjoyed traveling, reading, deer hunting, bingo and crocheting, but mainly enjoyed being the soul and centerpiece of her large extended family. She had been an active member of the Union City Senior Center and was also a member of the Union City American Legion Auxiliary. She had been a member of the Lake Pleasant United Methodist Church for many years. She is survived by her five daughters, Janice Kutruff, Georgina Cass (Dennis), Karen Ayers, (Rick), Gayle McCausland (Russ) and Cheryl Fowler (Jeff); four sons, John Enterline (Linda), George Enterline (Karen), David Enterline (Alicia) and Anthony "Tony" Enterline (Lori); a sister, Alwyn Bennett; a brother, Mervyn Cummins; 28 grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; several nieces, nephews (especially Terry White and his wife Beryl from England), and cousins.
