They are a special couple who have always looked for ways to serve others in our community. Irene Tester was a Lifetime Member of the MHHS Auxiliary and began serving as a volunteer in 1974. My fondest memories of Irene was her smile, and how she would bake special things for people she knew. She had a servants heart. Our hospital family and community will truly miss Irene Tester, and the many acts of kindness that followed her each day. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bill Tester and the entire family."
