Iris will always be remembered for her kindness to everyone and her willingness to help whenever asked, from being a roommother, MIA teacher and Primary counselor. For 35 years she enjoyed being a florist in Heber.Iris is survived by her children whom she loved more than life itself: son, Greg, his wife, Phyillis and daughter, Shala; her daughter, Christina and son, Carter; her daughter, Sheri Lyn and her husband, Tom Gordon and their children, Parrish (Kristi), Corbin, Kamien, Gabrielle, Arianne and Cecily; one great-grandson, Cole Gordon; brothers and sisters, LaDene Sweat, Heber City; Barton L.
