Irene Thresea Ann (Soukup) Healey, 95, of Perryton, Tx completed her life journey on Tuesday, February 2, 2021. 
 Irene was born on October 15, 1925 to Frank Joseph and Albina 
Catherine (Tymer) Soukup on the family farm near Wilson, Ks. The family 
worked hard to sustain farm life, and Irene had many stories to tell 
about her wonderful childhood. She attended Pleasant Valley country 
school. In the summers, she would help other farm families with cooking 
and caring for children, especially during harvest season. Her father, 
Frank, not only farmed, but he also played the concertina in a polka 
band. Weekends were filled with dancing. At one of these dances, Irene 
met the love of her life, James Patrick Healey. James was also a Wilson 
native and newly returned from serving in Europe during World War II. On
 October 28, 1947, Irene and James were married at the Saint Bernard 
Catholic Church in Ellsworth, Ks. 
 Together they raised three children, Juliana Louise Healey Sursa, 
James Patrick Healey II, and Timothy Joseph Healey. The family resided 
in Wilson, Ks but in 1958, they moved to Perryton, Tx. Perryton remained
 Irene’s home for the remainder of her life. She was a member of the 
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, and in her younger days, she was a
 member of the Alter Society. She also made many pies for church 
functions.
 Irene was a loving wife and mother. She was an excellent cook and 
homemaker. She loved her beautiful flower gardens, and at each home in 
which she lived, she always had a cactus garden. Her greatest pride was 
her family, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
 She joins her husband, James, of 58 years; her parents, Frank and 
Albina; two sisters, Helen Mickulecky and Leona Scantland; along with 
numerous relatives and friends who are in God’s home.
 Surviving Irene are her children, Juliana and Rick Sursa of 
Tucumcari, NM, James Healey of Spearman, Tx and Timothy and Tina Healey 
of Topeka, Ks. She is survived by nine loving grandchildren; Ronald and 
Lara Sursa, Summer and Toby Smith, Katherine Sursa, Curtis and Alyssa 
Sursa, James P. Healey III and Heather, Kimberley and Brian Edwards, and
 Ashley and Jessie Burkhalter. Irene has fourteen great-grandchildren 
and two lovely former daughters-in-law, Delores Healey and Rhonda 
Shafer. Irene is also survived by her sister, Edna Buehler of Wilson, Ks
 and her brother, Victor and Sharen Soukup of Garden City, Ks; along 
with numerous nieces and nephews. 
 The family wishes to say a special thank you to Dr. Rick Siewert and
 the nurses and staff of Hospice of Ochiltree General Hospital in 
Perryton, Tx. 
 A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, February 9, 2021
 at 10:00 a.m. at the St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Wilson, KS with

 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. with a vigil at 7:00 p.m. at the funeral home.

Ochiltree Hospice Volunteers, 2309 S. Cedar, Perryton, Tx 79070 or St. 
Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Box 1000, Dept 142, Memphis, Tn 38148-0142
