Traveling Again with her Love -

Irene (Moniz) Gilbert, age 85, of Paoli , and formerly of Fall River, MA and Mechanicsburg , died on Sunday, March 15, 2015.  Irene was born on Friday, November 1, 1929 in Fall River to the late John Moniz and Mary (Costa) Moniz.  Irene was the widow of Lloyd Gilbert, Sr., whom she married on May 9, 1952, and who died on October 2, 2013.  In addition to her parents and husband, Irene is preceded in death by her sisters, Cecilia Fritata and Glida Moniz.

Irene’s survivors include her son: Lloyd Gilbert, Jr. and his wife, Donna, of Malvern; her five grandsons: Mark, Lloyd III, Edward, Joshua, and Eric; her seven great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

Irene spent much of her time traveling with the love of her life, Lloyd Sr., to many places such as Cuba, Japan, and all over the United States.  She did absolutely everything with her husband and enjoyed spending time at home. Irene loved the holidays and being around the whole family.  She also spent as much time as she could with her grandsons.  Irene enjoyed bowling and was even a member of a bowling league for many years. She was a collector of radios and bells, which she would acquire on her numerous shopping trips to yard sales and flea markets. Irene loved to crochet and knit afghans, creating hundreds over the years.

Burial will be held in Arlington National Cemetery at a later date. Cremation was private.
