Iris C. Brown

Surrounded by her family, Iris C. Brown went to Heaven into the loving arms of her husband Tom Brown and son John M. Porter on December 2, 2015. She was 88 years old.

Iris was born on November 11, 1927 in the small town of Michigan, North Dakota. Her family moved to Auburn when she was 14 and she graduated from AHS in 1945. Iris lived in Auburn the rest of her life, working and raising her family.

Iris is survived by her daughter, Robyn (Jim) Libadia; her five grandchildren Rafe (Stephanie) Libadia, Raina (James) Borsum, Tamara Porter Bout, Jenny (Sean) Cournouyer, and Shaun Porter; and great-grandchildren, Tanner, Taylor, Micah, Blake, Lexie, Ally, and Maddie.

Iris loved being with people; spending time with her family, playing bridge and going out to eat with her many friends, and participating in activities at her church where she was a member for over 70 years.

She will be missed deeply by her family and friends.

A memorial and celebration of Iris’s life will be held on Monday, December 14, 2015 at 11 am at Messiah Lutheran Church in Auburn. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Messiah Lutheran.
