Irene Breton

April 4, 1937 - July 2, 2020

Irene Breton, 83, passed away, Thursday, July 2nd, 2020 at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of Raymond Breton with whom she shared 64 years of marriage. Irene was born in Lowell, on April 4, 1937, daughter of the late Harvey and Cecile (Belanger) Saucier. She was educated in the Lowell Parochial School system. At a young age she worked along-side her father at his shoe store, Harvey Shu-Tap, on Moody Street in Lowell. She was a strong, intelligent and independent woman who helped her dad create one of the most successful shoe stores of that time. She was employed with Raytheon to solder computer components needed for the Apollo mission to the moon. For many years, she worked as a waitress at the Coc’Dor Restaurant in Dracut, MA. Even in her free time, Irene was a busy person. During the summer months, she spent time with her family camping at Old Orchard Beach in Maine and the winters months at her home baking treats for friends. She enjoyed dancing, gardening, taking long walks on the beach, cooking, but most importantly, spending time with her grandchildren. Besides her husband, Raymond, Irene is survived and will deeply be missed by her children: Dave Breton, Dan Breton (Mona), Don Breton (Linda), Terri Breton (Tom), Michelle Breton, and Ray Breton (Miyo). She also leaves her seven grandchildren: Daniel Breton (Chelsea), Jason Breton, Kayla Kramer (Josh), Lindsey Breton, Christopher Breton, Dylann Breton, and Logan Breton. Besides her parents she was preceded in death by her brother Normand Saucier, and survived by her brother Gerald Saucier, sisters Jane Foye and Janet Hebert.
