Iris Schifino Obituary

Iris (Vernarelli) Schifino

Fairport - Passed away in St. John's Home on March 23, at the age of 103. She is survived by several nieces and nephews. Iris was married to Louis Schifino for 52 years, who passed away on April 16, 2008.

Iris will be remembered for her spunky spirit, glamour, and fashion sense. A pioneer for woman in the fashion industry in New York City, she was a buyer for several large department stores beginning in the 1940's. She and her husband shared a love of golf, fishing, travelling, and their extended family. Her longevity was evidenced by her strong faith.

A Memorial service will be held at a later date. The family extends their deepest gratitude to the caring staff on the 3rd floor or Reservoir at St. John's Home. Contributions can be made in her memory to St. John's Foundation, 150 Highland Ave., Rochester, NY 14618. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Richard H. Keenan Funeral Home, Fairport.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
