Irene Mamalis Horness passed away peacefully on January 20, 2010 at the age of 80. Ms. Horness was born September 19, 1929 in Athens, Greece and immigrated to the United States in 1950. While raising her family in Muskegon, Michigan, she achieved both a bachelors and masters degree in social psychology and, thereafter held professional positions in counseling and social work in western Michigan and Dallas, Texas before retiring to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1994. She was preceded in death by two brothers, Aposteles (David) and Theophilis Mamalis and is survived by three sisters, Sylvia Lang, Anna Holt, and Dorothy Gilbert; three children, Paula Horness Hildebrandt, Dr. Mark Horness, and Beth Horness; and four grandchildren. The family would particularly like to thank the staff at Vista Sandia assisted living facility and Hospice de la Luz for the expert and loving care extended to Irene in her final years. In lieu of condolences, the family suggests that remembrances be made to the Alzheimer's Association.
