Irene Shirley Bergman
May 6, 1928 - January 30, 2026
Tribute
Born to Bill and Anna Pipe at King’s Daughter Hospital. Mom was the eldest of three and predeceased by her siblings, Gerald and Hazel, our Dad Edward and brother Gene.
She is survived by her ten children; Jimmy (Christine), Louise (John), Judi (Garry), Brian (Linda), Wayne (Claire), Kathy, Bobby (Tammy), Brenda (Dale), Karen (Danny), Carl (Donna). She was Nana to twenty-eight grandchildren, forty-five great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren.
Mom lived in the Cowichan Valley her entire life. One of her greatest pleasures was swimming in the Cowichan River every summer, up until the age of ninety. She was fiercely independent and lived a long and healthy life in her own home until her passing.
Mom’s favourite song was, “It’s a Wonderful World”, by Louis Armstrong. She will be forever in our minds and hearts.
OVER AND OUT.

My condolences to the Bergman family.
I remember visiting your mom in her kitchen while waiting for Bobby, many years ago. Being a shy awkward teenager, your mom always made me feel at home. She had a kind caring accepting manner. Although I moved away from Duncan more than 50 years ago, when visiting Duncan, I still say “Hi Mrs. Bergman!” When I drive by her house.
From: Evelyn
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time, Irene was a wonderful lady.
