Irene B. Sokol was born on March 5, 1925 in NYC to Louis and Hannah (nee Katz) Blynn who were immigrants from Europe.
She grew up in the Bronx with her parents and her brother, Milton Blynn (predeceased). Irene attended NYC schools and graduated from Hunter College because her cousin ‘was already going’ and the families thought it would be good for the girls to go to college together. Later, with her husband’s encouragement, she received a Master of Librarian Science from Queens College.
A teacher and a librarian in the NYC schools for many years, adults would come up to her saying how she had helped them while they attended intermediate school. As a librarian, she would tutor students in public speaking and would accompany children on class trips.
She met her future husband, Joseph Sokol in September, 1947, set up by Irene’s cousins who thought they would be perfect for each other. They married 7 months later on March 28, 1948. Irene joked that their second date in December of ’47 lasted all night because of a snowstorm that stopped the subways from running. Joe went out and came back and stayed all night on the couch of her parents’ Bronx apartment, much to Hannah’s disapproval. Joe died one day after their 39th anniversary.
Irene and Joe eventually settled on Long Island and raised their two daughters Lisa Sokol and Martha Sokol McCarty (married to James) in Woodmere, NY. After Joe passed, and Irene retired, she moved to Mamaroneck, and then to Rye.
Irene became a proud grandmother of Matthew, Rachel, Joanna (married to Nick), Joshua and Michael. She was a great grandmother of Asher and Zoe.
Irene loved her NY Times, her art programs and her museums. She would call her daughters to tell them when she discovered an interesting show on TV about native American art, or about an important artist. She loved travelling the world in her younger years and enjoyed classical music especially the music station WQXR. Always curious, she loved being a teacher and was a “union” girl her whole life. Good food at a great restaurant- she was happy to go, and there was nothing wrong with a shopping trip to Bloomingdales (if they were running a sale).
When she was born, she received the Hebrew name of Chana. During an early childhood illness, she was renamed Chana Chaia. Chaia means Life. It was a life well-lived for 99 and ½ years. May her memory be a blessing.
