  Noted events in her life were:

1. Birth, 1899 - discrepancy: Birth discrepancy, 12 Jul 1899, Buffalo, Wright Co, Minnesota, United States. Irene's birth is most likely 12 Jul 1899 and based on the following. [1] Zion Lutheran Church Records [image 61]; [2] 1900 US Census for Buffalo Village, Wright Co, MN; (ED 0217). Both of these records would have been recorded close to her date of birth and likely the informant was Irene's mother (Christine) or father, Peter J Moody; and, [3] two of the Ancestry family trees [Moody FT and Kathy FT) support this date of birth.

The Obiturary that was published in the newspaper, Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN) issued 5 Oct 1987, page 17, records her age at death as 87 [thus, her birth in 1900]. The Minnesota Historical Socity death certifiate also indicate that her birth as 12 Jul 1900, although, there is not a record of her birth on the MNHS webpage.
This is the same date that is recorded on her gravemarker at Fort Snelling National Cemetery.

I believe that the most reasonable conclusion regarding her date of birth is that she was born on 12 Jul 1899. And this is based on the records noted above. It is likely the birth date of 12 Jul 1990 is incorrect and was likely reported by one of her children, some 87+ years after her birth. Her actual age at death would have been, 88 years, 2 months and 21 days.

Irene married Oscar Victor Hagstrom on 21 Dec 1920 in Hennepin Co, Minnesota, United States.⁹⁶²⁶ (Oscar Victor Hagstrom was born on 14 Dec 1892 in Minneapolis, Hennepin Co, Minnesota, United States, died on 2 Dec 1978 in Minneapolis, Hennepin Co, Minnesota, United States and was buried in Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Hennepin Co, Minnesota, United States.)
