She was undefeatable, a strong woman, who lived her life with conviction setting a stellar example for her children, and all others. She was "Mom" to the end, waiting for her youngest daughter to return safely from her honeymoon before her peaceful departure from this world. She will be dearly missed. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 30, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. At Gasch's Funeral Home, P.A. 4739 Baltimore Ave., Hyattsville, MD 20781. Interment to follow at Fort Lincoln Cemetery, 3401 Bladensburg Rd., Brentwood, MD 20722. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation, in the memory of Irene Pruszenski, to Texas Pawprints: https:// www.adoptapet.com /neighborhood-catladies/donate.
