C. Paul and Irene G. Venables were loyal patients and generous benefactors to Mayo Clinic throughout their lifetimes. In fact, Irene was an employee of Mayo Clinic for a short time from 1927 until 1929. In 1928 she married C. Paul Venables, and the newlyweds moved to Winona, Minnesota. There they owned the C. Paul Venables Cadillac dealership for many years. Since the passing of Mr. and Mrs. Venables, the C. Paul and Irene G. Venables Foundation has continued the tradition of giving to Mayo. The Venables Health Sciences Library is named in honor of Mr. and Mrs. C. Paul Venables.
