Iris was a social butterfly and developed many lifelong friendships. She loved the beach; it was her happy place. She enjoyed spending time with her sisters and going on their annual beach trips together. Iris has always had a love for animals as she has cared for cows, horses, dogs, cats, and even raccoons.
