Having returned to the Central Texas area, Irene met and married Oliver T. Baird.  The family moved to Brownwood where a son, Michael Oliver Baird was born.  They lived in Brownwood for 56 years and were members of Austin Avenue Church of Christ.

After her husband passed away, Mrs. Baird moved to Fort Worth to be close to her children and grandchildren where she was part of all family get togethers.
