Iris was a kind, fun-loving woman who enjoyed many hobbies during her lifetime. However, her greatest passion was her family. She devoted her life to raising her children and grandchildren. Her goal was to ensure they were taken care of no matter the cost - and she excelled at it. If she wasn't driving them to and from practices and games, she was playing kickball or badminton with them in the backyard after school. She adored them. Iris also prioritized her relationships with her brothers and sisters. They remained close over the course of her life.
Family and friends are invited to attend a graveside service 10 a.m. Tuesday, December 31 at New Hope Christian Church Cemetery in Louisburg. The family will receive friends 5 - 7 p.m. Monday at her home.
In lieu of contributions or flowers the family request a tree be planted in her memory.
