Irene Otilia Flicek

Irene Otilia Flicek, age 97, of Wabasha died Thursday, April 15th, 2021 at Gundersen St. Elizabeth’s Health Care Center in Wabasha. She was born February 24th, 1924 in Lonsdale, MN, the daughter of Emil and Otilia (Malecha) Vosejpka. After graduating from Immaculate Conception Catholic School, she was united in marriage to Norbert J Flicek on October 26th, 1943 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Lonsdale and spent the first two years of marriage in Miami, Florida while Norbert served in the United States Coast Guard during WW II.
Irene was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother throughout her lifetime. She and Norbert enjoyed 72 years of marriage together. She had an adventurous life of music, dancing and travel along with a quiet life of family, gardening, and community. She was a voracious reader, avid sports fan (Minnesota Twins), good listener, and loving caretaker. Time spent with friends was cherished, particularly in sewing and card clubs. Irene enjoyed watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren participate in sports, theater, piano, band, choir, and dance performances in high school and beyond. She always made it a point to celebrate special birthdays, bridal showers, weddings and baby showers with family. She loved to cook from scratch and passed down many Czech recipes to family and friends.
Irene gave of herself freely to the community, especially the St. Felix Church community. She was a member of the church choir for over 50 years and volunteered for countless events like the Annual Fall Festival, Salad luncheons, and other fundraisers. She volunteered as a reading helper for St Felix Grade School students. Irene was active for many years in both the American Legion Post 50 and Burkhardt-Roemer VFW Post 4086 auxiliaries.
