She worked 18 years as a secretary for the Teamsters Union #245. Iris' family and her community were very important to her.

In 1984, she married George Moore, who survives her.

Mom was a beautiful lady inside and out. She never met a stranger and was a sassy lady and social director who will be greatly missed.
