Irma was born on a farm in rural Carleton, NE. She attended Coonridge Country School for 8 years. Because her parents did not believe more schooling was needed, she worked at home until she was married.
Irma married Benjamin Headrick on October 14, 1934. They began their life together on a farm near Alexandria. Being a farm wife was different for Irma as she helped her husband with milking the cows, tending to the hogs, and all other farm related tasks. This union was blessed with the birth of four daughters. The family moved to Daykin on December 1, 1945. While in Daykin, Ben worked at the Daykin Lumber Yard and Irma worked at the grocery store and the U.S. Post Office from 1955-1958. In December of 1958, they moved to Hebron. During this time, Irma worked at the Hesteds Store (Dime Store). Then in May of 1960 they moved to Carleton as owners of the Carleton Lumber Yard. During their 31 years in Carleton, Irma worked as the bookkeeper for the Lumber Yard for 5 years, Weddel's Drug Store from 1964-1991, and for the U.S. Post Office from 1960-1991. She retired in 1991 with 31 years of service. On April 14, 1991 Ben died suddenly and not long after, Irma had a home built along Lincoln Avenue in Hebron, NE.
Irma enjoyed her flowers, yard work, being with family, making raspberry jelly, enjoying the festivities with Milo Days especially the floats in the parades, crocheted afghans for the grandchildren and everything that goes with being a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother.
