Iris F. Wagner, age 81, of Sheboygan Falls, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 24, 2025, at Pine Haven Christian Communities.

The two shared three beloved children and three grandchildren, whom brought them much joy and fulfillment. Tom preceded her in death in 2009. Iris was employed for many years with Aurora Medical Center in both pediatrics and medical billing services.

Iris loved spending time at their cottage around a campfire in northern Wisconsin; fishing, playing cards, being a master sheepshead and cribbage player, going to the casino, and spending time with her family and friends.
