Obituary – Iris T. Correia

In loving memory of Iris T. Correia

November 7, 1931 – March 11, 2023

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Iris Correia of Burnaby, B.C., Canada (formerly of Kampala, Uganda).

Iris passed away on Saturday, surrounded by her family, after a brief illness. Beloved wife of the late Joseph B. Correia; sibling of Doris (the late Raymond), Joe (Fina), William (Merle) and Mavis (the late Milo); devoted mother of the late Moira Kilmartin (Fergus), Sam (Maureen), Noel (Roxanne), the late Brian (Tazim), Josie and Joe Luis (Janis); cherished grandmother to April, Sean, Nola, Christopher, Cory, Chelsea, Jason, Robyn, Justin, Ryan, Nicholas and Lauren; and great grandmother to 9 adoring children. Iris was a calming and joyful presence in the lives of her family. She was soft-spoken, yet strong and independent. Rest in peace Iris. You will forever be in our hearts and minds.
