Iris Rojas Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Scillieri-Arnold Funeral Home - Paterson on Jun. 1, 2023.
Our beloved Mother Iris Nivia Rojas, born in Utuado, PR on Jan 11, 1954 passed away on Tuesday, March 28, 2023 at 10:48 am. She was 69 years old.
Iris was resilient. She sacrificed everything for her children and created a way for the 4 generations that proceed her.
Iris was a Puerto Rican single mom of 4, and a Patersonian through-and-through. She started as a factory worker around the age of 22 and fought against incredible adversity, ultimately succeeding as the Director at a nursery. Iris fought poverty, uncertainty and mental health illness every day to provide for her children.
From her heartbroken children, Marisol, Roxanne, Raul and Rachel, her many Nieces, Nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and the friends and family that loved and adored her: We are grateful for all the beautiful memories we have.
In lieu of flowers please contribute towards Iris' end of life needs would be helpful and appreciated. Email: [email protected] expressing your desire to contribute and instructions will be provided via email.
Let the family know you care by leaving your condolences, favorite memories and thoughts and prayers on the Tribute Wall.
