Irene Catherine Flicker, age 84 of Rochester passed away at St. Marys Hospital on October 29, 2014. She was born on June 27, 1930 in Rice, Minnesota to Jake and Christine (Boser) Duscher.

During her 66 years of married life with Ardell, she was a dedicated, loving stay-at-home mom to her 6 children.  After her children started school, she worked for the Rochester School System and Kahler Hotel in food services.  Irene loved to camp and fish in Canada and area lakes.  During their retirement years Irene and Ardell traveled to the southern states in their motor home before picking Mission, Texas as their home for 12 1/2 years.  They returned to Rochester to spend more time with their grandchildren.

Irene's last year was spent peacefully at Cottagewood Senior Community.  We will always love and miss her.

Irene is survived by her husband Ardell Flicker; children Barb (Tim) Laska of Ft. Worth, TX, Bob Flicker of Meridian, ID, Carol (John) Fischer of Rochester, Rick (Jolene) Flicker of Rochester, Joel (Terrie) Flicker of Chatfield and Jay (Kate) Flicker of Elgin; sixteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren; siblings, Donald (Edith) Duscher of Deer River, MN, Margie (Alvin) Marshik of Pierz, MN, Marilyn Clubb of Las Vegas, NV.  She is preceded in death by her parents; brother Roger Duscher; and grandson Matthew Flicker.
