I received this in a email.
"Anne Oveson called just now to let me know that Irene Tolomeo’s daughter called and spoke with Anne’s daughter, letting her know that Irene passed away yesterday"
She was a great lady and produced several intersectionals during her lifetime. Most have the first name Sonoma. She was generous with her time and her pollen. Unlike some who's breeding are lost she had the foresight to make arrangements with Carol Adelman to grow her plants. She will be greatly missed.

Very kind of you to let us know. I may have some of her plants as I have bought some from Adelman's.
If you have any that start with Sonoma you have some of hers. There are a couple that do not start with Sonoma but most of those are unregistered and in private gardens.
