Irene Biache, age 71, went to be with our Lord on July 4, 2025 peacefully and surrounded by her family and friends. She was a beautiful shining light to everyone she knew and met. She was loving, courageous, energetic and her laughter could fill a room. She was completely dedicated to the ministry of sharing and living the word of God.

Irene was born on December 31, 1953 in Corpus Christi, TX and graduated from Moody High School in 1972. She went on to obtain her teaching degree from Texas A&I - Kingsville. She moved to San Antonio to begin her teaching career and made the city her home. When she married Mike, she retired from teaching and became a Pastor's wife. She had such a special bond with so many cherished church members but made a tremendous impact in so many lives beyond their congregation. From feeding the homeless to giving the shoes off her feet to someone in need, she will always be remembered for her selflessness and tender heart. Irene also had a very special place in her heart for animals. She had her own pets, but she also cared for strays, especially cats. If she found one hurt or sick, she would nurse them back to health. Her legacy of faith and kindness will continue to inspire all those who were so blessed to know her.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Pedro and Leonor Delgadillo. She leaves behind her husband of 31 years, Mike Biache, 2 brothers Pedro "Pete" Delgadillo Jr. (Gloria) of Houston, TX, Fred Delgadillo (Syndi) of League City, TX, 3 sisters Alicia Gonzalez (Samuel), Alma Leal (Arnold) of Corpus Christi, TX and Gracie Gonzales (Jose A.) of Hutto, TX, along with numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and friends.
