Iris Bessie Zebrook

Iris Bessie Zebrook, age 95, of Newark, Delaware, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at Complete Care at Brackenville.

Born in Narrows, Virginia on October 7, 1930, she was the daughter of the late Annie and Vasper Wright. She lived with her husband in Beckley, West Virginia until they moved to Newark, Delaware where she resided in her home in Pike Creek until the last few months of her life.

Some of the things that she loved to do during her spare time were sewing, crocheting, and playing bridge. She was savvy with home repair and could often be heard telling how she put tar on her house roof! Her daughters would call on her for home repairs and she would offer helpful advice on fixing just about anything. She was frugal with money, but loved shopping for clothing for herself and family. The beach was one of her favorite vacation spots where she enjoyed spending time with family in Rehoboth. Mom will be remembered for her generosity, kindness, and her spirited nature.

In addition to her parents, Iris was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph J. Zebrook; son, Gary Zebrook; and grandsons, Brian Zebrook and Stephen Snyder. She is survived by her children, Belenda Zebrook, Cindy Guerrazzi (Gene), and Stacy Snyder; along with several grandchildren and great children.
