A beautiful Lady, Iris brought Love and Joy to all she came in contact with. Throughout Iris’s beautiful life, she was able to travel to many beautiful places including Italy, Scotland, and Hawaii. However, all of these places took 2nd place to Iris’s favorite place… PEPPERMILL in Reno. Hands down Iris’s favorite place, which gave her so much joy over the years and she took many wonderful trips there with her children and other Family members. Iris will be so missed, but her lasting impact on her family and friends will be a source of Love, Hope, and Joy now and always.
A celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, November 16th, 11am at the Fremont Memorial Chapel, 3723 Peralta Blvd. in Fremont, with a reception to follow directly after the celebration.
