Beloved mother and grandmother, Iris Martin, completed her life mission early the morning of May 1, 2015. Iris was born in Ephraim, Utah to Wilford Guy and Edna Virginia Sparks Lunn. She married John David Martin on January 17, 1947. The marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple.
Iris enjoyed being surrounded by her family, traveling throughout the West with her husband in their camper and later, their fifth wheel, cruising with friends, and attending the performances and athletic events of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a long-time supporter of Utah hockey beginning with the SL Golden Eagles. An active member of the LDS Church, she held many auxiliary positions and served a mission in South Salt Lake with her husband.
Iris is survived by her three children: Candice (Rick) Kammerman, Robert Martin, and Bill (Chris) Martin; sisters in-law, Donna Sonntag and Evelyn Geigle; seven grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren; and, her faithful dog, Romeo. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, stepfather, brother, brothers-in-law, sister-in-law, and a daughter-in-law.
