Iris left the Southern Maryland area in early adulthood and spent most of her life in the South. She worked for Charter Communications/Spectrum for 30 years. After retiring, Iris worked part-time for Walgreens on North Morrison Boulevard in Hammond, Louisiana.

She never missed family reunions and looked forward to coming back to Maryland to attend her high school reunions. Iris was a graduate of LaPlata High School in Charles County Maryland. Laura, as Iris came to be known later in life, was an avid animal lover and loved dogs and fed the local cat population where she lived in Hammond, Louisiana, with her partner Johnny Creel.
