Charmaine "Binkie" Beatriz Costalupes, daughter of John Robert and Beatrice Louise (Shields) Irwin, was born November 14, 1928 in Alameda, Calif., and departed this life on August 2, 2016 in Stilwell, Oklahoma at the age of 87 years, 9 months and 18 days.
She was a very loving wife, mother and grandmother to her family. She loved reading –especially cookbooks. She loved to cook and was good at it. She and her husband owned and operated a cheese factory in Riverbank, Calif. called Riverbank Cheese Company. She deeply enjoyed her retirement here in Oklahoma and loved her little home on Zion Road. One of her favorite things was working alongside her daughter at the quilt shop. She always said it was a great job and she couldn't wait to go back every day. Her life will be missed deeply but the memoires of her will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved her.
