Iris Hayes Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Iris worked for several years as a sales representative for Grief Brothers Shipping Containers. Iris was a gentle soul. She loved people and they loved her. She was a great cook and loved to see everyone enjoying themselves. Being the oldest of eleven children, she didn't know how to cook a small meal. She loved having people visit. She will be missed greatly.
Left to cherish her memory are her son; David Hayes (Savitta) of Wilmington, NC, two sisters; Frankie P. Pelletier of Archdale, NC and Linda P. Styles of Burnsville, NC and a brother; Wayne Parrish of Randleman, NC.
A graveside memorial service at Whiteville Memorial Cemetery, Whiteville, NC, will be held at a time to be announced (please check back for time).
McKenzie Mortuary, 112 Jefferson Street, Whiteville, NC is serving the Hayes family.
