She was the beloved wife of the late Erich M. Schweikert; the couple had shared 55 years of marriage.
Born in Schwabisch Gmund, Germany, Irma, Erich and the oldest of their two children immigrated to the US through Ellis Island, NY and made their new home in Bergen County NJ and remained there until 1992. Irma and Erich then relocated upon retirement to Bucks County PA.
They travelled often to NJ to stay in touch with friends and maintained their connection with members of the Carlstadt Mixed Chorus for many years.
Irma made friends easily and was well loved and respected. As a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, she loved to cook, bake, sew and garden. Her family was always her priority.
Irma will be greatly missed by her sons, Erich F. and Gary E. Schweikert; her grandchildren, Elke, Erich and Kirsten, Peter and Brandon; her great grandchildren Sydney, Brooks and Zachary. She is also survived by her sister in Germany Lotte Schneider.
