In Loving Memory of Iris Appleby. Born on April 10, 1937 at Curve Lake First Nation, County of Peterborough Ontario, Iris resided in Eastern Ontario for a period of years. On September 19th, 1964 she married her husband Wayne in Bellville Ontario. Together they had four children Rhea, Rick, Sherry and Dwayne.

Volunteering for the Royal Canadian Legion and her involvement in the Mooselodge were important to her. Other hobbies such as gardening, traveling, and local meat draws for the legion and moose lodge occupied some of her time as well.
