She met and married her first husband Harry Scherger in 1945, loved and raised her children with him in Regina and Saskatoon, but lost him to illness in 1994. She was blessed to find and marry Roy Armstrong in 1997 and spent these last years enjoying many cruises, train rides, two trips to Holland, weddings, birthdays and family visits. She loved people and spent many years working in the cafeteria of Holy Cross High School. She served on the Executive at Brandtwood Estates Condo Association in many capacities. Ilene took great joy and pride in her baking and recently provided all the goodies for Roy’s 90th birthday celebration. She was a bowler, a card-player, a tireless puzzle enthusiast and a friend to Roy’s CN group. Ilene loved to dance and was a groupie for the Jammers, a band that Roy enjoys playing in. She will be greatly missed.
