Married William Harrison (Bud) Dodge June 17, 1944."Let's find a quiet place so I can tell you about our sister, Irma - To understand her you need to stop and pretend you are watching a tiny house wren flying very gracefully in a garden - lighting here and there to touch a flower and leave a bit of love at each stop."
Irma was a career employee of the Internal Revenue Service for 27 years. At her retirement she was saluted for her "quiet accomplishment as a gracious and gentle woman". She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
