It is with great sadness that we can report the passing of Irene Froy EFIAP, MPAGB, HonPAGB.
In due course we will be remembering her in some special way, but for now a few words of remembrance.
Irene was a long standing member of Wrekin Arts Photographic Club and played a very influential role in the success and direction of the Club for many years. It would be fair to say that she put WAPC on the map as far as it’s reputation and standing within the photographic community.
Over the past year Irene struggled with her mobility so we saw less and less of her at the club, but we kept in touch via Zoom and she was always appreciated and welcomed on the occasions she could get in.
We will miss her greatly and her beautiful pastel images she was famous across the country for.
She was well known in almost all photographic clubs across the country and has many good friends who will be mourning with us.
She passed away on a trip to visit some of those friends in her beloved Scotland. A blessing was that she was with her family when she died, rather than being alone at home.
She will now join her dear Gerry (husband) and will no doubt be instructing him to stop somewhere to enable her to take a photo.
Our thoughts are with her family and the many friends she made in the photography world.
A smattering of her images can be seen on her WAPC members gallery, although it hasn’t been updated for a while - https://wrekinartspc.com/irene-froy-gallery
