She volunteered with the Homebound Ministries and the Singles Ministry at her beloved church. Iris loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all her heart and devoted her life to working for Him. During her lifetime of Christian service, she volunteered countless hours at church and went on mission trips to Greece, Kenya, and Haiti.
