Resided in: Mooresville, Indiana
Irene “Mo” Medsker, 95, of Mooresville, died on Monday, February 24, 2025 at the Springs of Mooresville. She was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania on April 2, 1929 to the late Thomas Weis and Irene (Kolosvary) Weis.
She served in the United States Air Force from 1952 to 1954. While serving she met the man who would later become her husband, Robert Medsker. The two were united in marriage on December 4, 1954 soon after Irene was discharged honorably from the Air Force. They were married for over 57 years before Robert passed on February 9, 2012.
Irene took great pride in caring for her family and home as a dedicated homemaker. Of Catholic faith, she was a member of the St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Mooresville. In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening. She loved flowers and greatly enjoyed sending flowers to others. Due to her declining health, she was no longer able to care for her flower gardens, so she transitioned to “planting” artificial flowers which require far less maintenance. Additionally, she enjoyed playing BINGO. Her greatest joy in life was most certainly her family especially her grandchildren who lovely called her “Mo.”
She will be missed by her family including her sons, Robert “Bob” (wife, Michelle) Medsker of Avon and William “Bill” (wife, Carol) Medsker of Hendersonville, Tennessee; daughters, Deborah “Debbi” (husband, Mark) Wurfel of Olathe, Kansas and Sandy (husband, Dave) Crockett of Indianapolis; daughter-in-law, Tammy Medsker of Mooresville; sister-in-law, Mary Weis of Summerville, South Carolina; adopted family, Joe and Irene Trimble of Mooresville; 18 beloved grandchildren; and 13 adored great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Irene Weis; sons, Rick Medsker and Tim Medsker; daughter, Susan Medsker; brothers, Robert Weis and Thomas Weis; and grandson, Chase Medsker.

Irene and my wife and I got off to a slow start in our relationship as next door neighbors back in 1993. But it was because of a lack of communication early on and the age differences of 25 years! Once we started to thaw the situation,we became friendly and enjoyed many talks outside while doing yard work. I found out how much she loved gardening by observation. I was amazed at her energy and how hard she worked on her flowers! Enjoyed a friendship for almost 30 years, and we are sorry for her loss. Our sincere condolences to all the family.
