Iris Taina Vazquez

In Loving Memory of Iris Vazquez

It is with a heavy heart of sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Iris T Vazquez.

Iris was truly one of a kind—a firecracker with a vibrant spirit who lived life with passion and authenticity. She had a bold personality that could light up any room, yet beneath that strength was a heart filled with kindness, compassion, and unconditional love. She never hesitated to stand up for the people she loved and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Those who knew Iris will remember her infectious laughter, her fearless spirit, and the warmth she shared so freely. She had a remarkable way of making people feel seen, loved, and accepted. Whether through her words of encouragement, her sense of humor, or simply her presence, she left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Above all else, Iris was a loving mother. Her greatest joy in life was her four children, Alex Rivera, Alexa Rivera, Gamelina Knight , and Adonis Butler who were the center of her world. The love she had for them was unconditional, and they will forever carry her strength, guidance, and love in their hearts.

Iris was the beloved daughter of Blanca Gonzalez and Harry Vazquez , and a cherished sister to Miguelina Vasquez, Jose Rodriguez , and Yesmile Vasquez . She shared a special bond with her family, and her love for them will remain a lasting gift that time can never take away.

Although our hearts are broken by her passing, we take comfort in knowing that the love Iris gave so freely will continue to live on through her children, her family, and the countless lives she touched
