MY condolence on Aunt Iris passing. I have great memories of Aunt Iris growing up. And I do agree that she was a strong and independent woman well ahead of her generation. One look could put all of us kids in our place at the many Mercurio family gatherings. I never learned how my Uncle Tony met Iris but he definitely won the Lottery. They were a great combination. I remember visiting visited Tony,Iris and Gary on Venice Drive and how Iris loved her garden. We will remember Iris in our prayers along with her family.

For my very best friend, Miss Stella
I'm saddened to hear of your Aunt's passing. I remember you speaking fondly of your Uncle Tony and Aunt Iris, and I remember how close you were to them. I remember you talking about holidays centered around cooking and baking, and I was always envious of all those wonderful Italian foods that you knew how to prepare.....and from memory.
I'm betting some of those recipes were passed down from Aunt Iris.
You will always treasure those special memories, and in doing so, your Aunt will live forever in your heart.
Love Miss Debbie

Aunt Iris was the best role model for me growing up in the 60's ....I loved her dearly...she gave me my first pair of high heels in 8th grade, taught me to type on her old manual typewriter, taught me to be independent-to be a career woman... loved staying with her and my Uncle Tony, a babysitter to my cousin Gary so many years ago...sorry that we have lost touch with the family(Laurie and Becky)....we were all so close when we were growing up...I have some great pictures of her when she and Uncle Tony went fishing, at family gatherings.....though we've lost touch.... and most of the "Mercurio" family of her generation has passed on....she is remembered by the nieces/nephews, Carl/Jackie Conceller, Stella Caldwell-Giordano, and Annie/Andrew DeMaria(SanDiego) and their families.....
She will always be remembered as a strong, great woman and aunt to us........ donating her body to science is so Aunt Iris....she had told me a long, long time ago.....when she died, if she was 'viewed', that she wanted to be put in a a plain white blouse...and made me promise to keep her wishes....just wanted to share that conversation of ours with Laurie/Becky...understand your grief...having lost my Dad, my Mother, and my brother, Pete.....memories of past happy days get us though the saddest times... chapters open and chapters close, memories do live on .........Stella

Though I never had the opportunity to meet Iris, I love her so for the joy and dedication she gave to her beautiful granddaughter Rebecca, my dearest friend, and her mother Laurie, for whom I will always admire and adore. Peace, Iris. Peace.

Iris, thank you for being a strong woman. In doing so you help to form a strong and caring granddaughter. That woman Rebecca is a dear friend because of those very qualities you helped to instill. Much peace.
