Iris was born in Eastland, Tx on May 9, 1940, to Jess and Cleo Brinkley. She attended the Eastland schools and graduated in the Class of 1958. Shortly after she graduated, she married the love of her life Wayne on December 20, 1958. They eventually moved to Bryan, TX where Wayne worked for the telephone company. In the summer of 1967 Wayne, Iris and their children moved to Freeport, Tx where he started a job at Dow. Iris was a proud stay- at -home mom and PTO volunteer while her children were in elementary school. When her children were older, she went to work at JC Penney as a receptionist. A few years later she was hired as a bookkeeper and receptionist at Corporate Hair. After Wayne retired from Dow, they moved back to Bangs to enjoy the country life. They lived in Bangs until Iris needed help with the care of her husband. So, in 2004 they moved to Lake Jackson Tx to be close to their daughter and son. Iris was a woman of power and faith, and she was always full of love and lots of laughter. She took such good care of her family and was known for making the best hot yeast rolls ever. She was a devout Christian woman who loved the Lord with all her heart. She taught Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and sang in the choir for many years. A verse in Proverbs 31 says, for her worth is far above rubies, and she certainly was. Now God has you in His keeping, and we have you forever in our hearts. Iris is survived by her daughter Terri and husband Parlon Morton of Lake Jackson, son Doug Lewis and wife Cynthia of Lake Jackson, seven grandchildren, Brian Morton and wife Jamie of Clute, Tim Morton and wife Laura of West Columbia, Michelle Perez and wife Lo of Lake Jackson, Nicole Veach and husband Stephen of Lake Jackson, Natalie Cruz and husband Luis of Angleton, Renee Lowder of Lake Placid, Florida and Josh Morton of San Antonio; eight great grandchildren, Khloe Morton, Bentley Morton, Ryleigh Morton, Tinleigh Morton, Tristian Alexander, Adrianna Veach, Emma Veach, Zoey Veach, a brother Rodney Brinkley of Chickasha, Oklahoma and many nieces, nephews and friends.
