Obituary of Iris Marie Paul

Iris Marie Paul peacefully went on to her eternal rest on February 3, 2019 at the Healthcare Resort of Plano in Plano, TX at the age of 69. Iris was born on April 22, 1949 in New Orleans, LA. After nearly 18 months, she lost her battle to Stage IV colon cancer but she fought hard and never once considered giving up.  Even in her the toughest times during her final days she was selfless, only concerned with the well-being of her loved ones.

Prior to moving to Texas in 2013, Iris was a lifelong resident of New Orleans, LA where she attended Booker T. Washington High School.  She was both employed by, and volunteered at, Robert E. Lee Elementary school in New Orleans, LA, Norbert Rillieux Elementary School in Waggaman, LA, and A. W. Brown Fellowship Leadership Academy in Dallas, TX. 

Services will be held at Harvest of Praise Ministry 2603 S. Hamptonn Rd. Glenn Heights, TX 75154 Friday, February 8, 2019. Visitation 9:00am. Service 10:00am.

Iris will be cremated following her service, and her ashes will be interned and buried with her late children Sonia Marie Smith and Steven Rene Smith at Carrollton Cemetery in New Orleans Louisiana.
