Linville and husband Walter; a sister, Betty Rigsbee; brothers, Glen Snyder, Lindsey Snyder (Paulette), Larry Snyder (Cindy), Michael Rigney and Richard Rigney; several nieces and nephews.  Irene was preceded in death by her father, Rufus Rigney; mother, Ila Adell Thomas Snyder; step father, Albert Snyder; son-in-law, Robert “Bobby” Peoples; an infant sister, Rebecca Ann Snyder and brothers, Hubert “Buddy” and Howard Rigney.

The graveside service will be held at 11:00am Thursday, August 18, 2022 at Alamance Memorial Park by Rev. Mike Barnette.  The family will receive friends from 5 to 7pm Wednesday at Lowe Funeral Home & Crematory and other times at the daughters’ home in Reidsville.
