Irma was a 1976 graduate of McAllen High School. She was employed with Charles Clark Chevrolet of McAllen for over fourteen years. She could be often seen, in her neighborhood, going for long walks with her dogs, or as she called them, her "children."

Due to COVID-19 precautionary measures, a memorial service restricted to family members is set for Saturday, October 17, 2020. Special thanks are extended to Rosie de la Garza, Sammie Gonzalez, Viola, April, Janie, and Netty Alaniz, her aunt, Rosie Erickson, Karinna and Karissa Gonzalez and Legacy Hospice Care for making her journey a peaceful one.
The Morales and Alaniz family entrusted their services to the care of Ceballos Funeral Home of McAllen.
