Irene Christina Hilda Feine was born on Thursday, May 15, 1919, in Rushford, MN to Hubert and Emma (Erdmann) Feine. She was raised on the family farm. Irene attended country school and parochial school. On July 5, 1937, Irene was united in marriage with Robert Heiden at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Hart, MN. Following their marriage, the couple moved to the West Coast starting out in Washington State and moving down the coast to southern California. They attended the very first Rose Parade in Pasadena, CA. Irene and Bob moved back to Minnesota where they lived in the Hart and Rushford areas.
