Tribute
Iris Lavelle Bosley Brown, 91, long time resident of Kissimmee, FL, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday morning, July 13, 2019 after a sudden and brief illness. She died peacefully in her home surrounded by loving family members.
Iris was born in Buckhannon, West Virginia on April 7, 1928 and grew up an only child during The Great Depression. She graduated with a B.S. degree in Nursing in 1949 from St. Mary's Hospital School of Nursing in Huntington, West Virginia. She married Harvey R. Brown (deceased 1981), also from Buckhannon, that same year.
Iris moved to Kissimmee in 1972 from Albuquerque, New Mexico. She established an impressive career in nursing , including 17 1/2 years as Director of Nursing/Night Supervisor at Osceola Regional Medical Center. She enjoyed international travel to observe and study medical facilities and practices in Russia, India, Israel and South America. These trips provided opportunities to earn continuing education credits required to maintain current licensure.
Iris was a steadfast member of Calvary Assembly of God where she became known and admired for her faithful, dedicated prayer life, and the tasty dishes she prepared for the senior citizen's dinners. She delighted in crafting hearty meals where she could nourish people's souls as well as their bodies. She and her kitchen creations will be greatly missed by all. The angels are certainly dining well tonight!
