Iris Lampert passed away on Friday, September 12, 2025, at the age of 88.
Born on November 7, 1936 to Jack and Doris Freedman, most of her formative years were in Colchester. After graduation from Bacon Academy, she moved to NY where she got a job as O ce Manager in a CPA + Law Firm and went to night college at CCNY.
She met her husband Leon and shortly after they moved to New London in 1973. She worked for 18 years as bookkeeper at the Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra until her retirement.
She and Leon had one son Je rey who resides in California. A lifetime member of Hadassah, she spent her entire life caring for her family and doing volunteer work in New London public school, playing Man Jong and socializing with her friends.
She was a force to be reckoned with; a 4' 10" body with a 10' 4" foot presence, leaving a towering void in her absence. She will be greatly missed.
