Irene Lewis Shields Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Irene Lewis Shields of Mebane, North Carolina, who passed away on April 14, 2026, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Irene Lewis Shields to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Irene farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Irene is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her father Edward "Ed" Lewis; her grandmother Westbrooks Lewis; her husband Philip Shields; her children, Carolyn S. Craddock (Jerry) and Leon Shields (Glenda); her grandchildren, Donnalynn Brody (Stephen), Amanda Chatman (Lamar) and Chris Barrow (April); and her sisters, Ruby Squires and Dorothy Jordan.
Memorials may be made to AuthoraCare Hospice 914 Chapel Hill Rd. Burlington, NC 27215.
