Irene also volunteered her time to help with the Apostolic for the Handicap in Monroe as well as sponsoring a child in the Children International group for several years. God was very important to her, as were her family and friends. Especially close to her heart were her nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She was a great cook with pies, rice pudding, fried fish and the German dish "Molldauschen" as her specialties. She took pride in her raspberry bushes, loved to play cards, but fishing was her favorite. She also traveled to Europe in the early years, danced the hula in Hawaii, visited her sister in Seattle and took bus trips to the Fort Atkinson Theater to see plays with her friends at St. Bernard's. She is survived by her daughter, Rita Marie Ruhland Corcoran; sons, Robert (Luanne) and Donald (Janice), all of Madison; seven grandchildren, Tim (Jeanne) Corcoran and Kelly (Todd McNally) Corcoran of Oregon, Tami (Brian) Munster of Sun Prairie, Matthew, David and Jeffrey Ruhland all of Madison, and Ken (Mariah) Ruhland of Cottage Grove; and five great-grandchildren, Mikaila, Rebecca and Nicholas Corcoran of Oregon, and Kaia and Leo Ruhland of Cottage Grove. Also surviving are her five loving brothers and sisters, Wilbert, Cyril (Dorothy Ann) and Elmer (Myrna) Heiser, Florentine (John) Ruhland and Rita (Bob) Sherrer; along with four brothers-in-law, Charles (Sally) Ruhland, Ralph (Pat) Ruhland, Francis Ruhland and Ray (Darlene) Ruhland; three sisters-in-law, Bernadine Heinbecker, Lorraine (Dean) Runyan and Toni Ruhland; as well as more than 50 nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; two grandchildren, Patrick Corcoran and Michelle Ruhland; and sister-in-law, Emelia Paulus. While Irene had many friends, she was especially loved by the Imhoff and Knickmeier families. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, July 15, 2005, at ST.
