Iris Monahan Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 27, 2009.
Iris M. Monahan passed away May 27, 2009 after a courageous battle with cancer. Born October 1, 1925 in Eveleth, Minnesota to Clinton and Irene Roberts. She graduated from Virginia High School in 1943 and then attended nurses training school. It was her love of "nursing" where she found her niche, serving the community with over 30 years in mental health experience, most of that being in the Tri-City area. She is survived by her sister Beverly; four children Pam, Tim, Kim and Tom; three grandchildren Laura, Sara and Kimberly; and two great-grandchildren Nathan and Griffin. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. In lieu of flowers please send remembrances to the Tri-City Chaplaincy, 2108 E Entiat Ave., Kennewick, WA or to the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, P.O. Box 19023, Seattle, WA 98109. Memorial services will follow in October. You may contact Kim Galloway at 509-869-8471 for further details.
