Irene Merrill Bergh Robinson, age 100, of Tonasket, WA, died at home on September 19, 2021.

Irene was born in Stacyville, Iowa, to parents Charles and Goldie Hanson. She lived in that area until graduating from Osage Iowa High School. She then moved to Bend, OR, where she met her first husband Knute Bergh, a pilot, who later died in a plane crash in Alaska. The couple had three children.
