Irene Natalie Davison Brislin

Irene Natalie Davison Brislin passed away peacefully at her home on Harvey's Lake on December 29, 2024. 

Born June 23, 1948 in Wilkes-Barre she was a daughter of the late William and Irene Savage Davison.

Irene graduated from Meyers High School and then attended Villanova University, where she majored in nursing. She proudly worked as an RN after college in Boston before returning to Philadelphia to pursue a Master's degree at Penn. Irene's nursing skills were best utilized when caring for her mother for many years. Her career, her love of family, and her deep faith inspired a lifelong commitment to advocating for the respect of life.

Irene devoted her life to raising her six children and found great joy in each one of her twenty grandchildren, often jet-setting around the country to participate in some everyday life, attend school functions, and share in their accomplishments. Her cherished memories are of her children bringing their families back to Harvey's Lake yearly to share in the magic of summer days.

Irene's beloved brother, John Davison, preceded her in death.

Her life and memories are treasured by her children Dr. Kenneth Brislin of Allentown, Dr. Brian Brislin of Lititz, Julie Whaley of Arlington, TX, Timothy Brislin of Phoenix, AZ, Attorney Mary Kathleen Mitura of Oreland, and Dr. Thomas Brislin of Carlsbad, CA and their spouses and families; her siblings William Davison, Kathleen Hudik, Thomas Davison, James Davison, and Robert Davison; and other family and friends.
