Irene (Hieb) Stoick was born on September 20, 1930, to David and Ida (Dikoff) Hieb in Hague, ND. Irene's family lived north of Timber Lake and she attended country school through the eighth grade. She worked as a waitress in town. While waitressing she met Wilfred "Goo" Stoick. She didn't want to wait on him due to his fussiness. Irene and Goo were married on July 25, 1949 in Timber Lake. In May of 1953 Goo and Irene purchased the Super Valu stock and fixtures from the Hettich Brothers. The family moved to Selby in 1955. In March of 1956 they purchased Schnaibles' Piggly Wiggly which was located on North Main. While Goo ran the store Irene did the book work and raised their family. In 1962 they purchased lake property at Pickerel Lake. Irene would take their children and friends for weeks at a time to enjoy the lake. She loved sitting on the dock with her feet in the water.

Irene was a member of the St. Anthony's Catholic Church, St. Anthony's Altar Society and the Jaycees. She was also on the Good Samaritan Society Board for a few years. She enjoyed bowling, golfing at May Acres, crocheting, and gardening. She was known for her cooking and baking. Irene and Goo traveled extensively, going on different Super Valu trips and different places all over the world.
