Iris Jane Ross, age 64, of Vancleave, passed away on Friday, November 16, 2012.
Jane, as so many knew her, was an astonishingly beautiful and gentle woman. Her soul truly touched the lives of the people she loved and cared for. She was always willing to offer a smile or a witty antidote when the occasion called for one. A more complete and classy lady there will never be as God broke the mold the day Iris Jane was created. To know her was to love her, and to love her she would always return, The utmost illuminating friendship and companionship, leaving nothing possibly that anyone could yearn. Yearning for more was never needed, When Iris Jane entered a room, she could handle everyone else's predicaments systematically, when she opened up her ever farther reaching petals to bloom. She was more compassionate and less selfish than many, for no light can ever shine near as bright, She has graced and honored all who've had the pleasure, now it's her turn to be guided by light. Rest in peace beautiful flower, rest in peace.
Mrs. Ross was preceded in death by her parents, Mavis Ashley and Felix Charles Smith and her sister Glenda Corter.
She is survived by her husband: David Allen Ross Sr.; children: Daryl (Cindy) Thompson, Lorinda (Steve) Moye and Allen (Tina) Thompson; siblings: Michael Smith, Charles Smith, Charlene Fagan and Pat Davis; and grandchildren: Savannah, Jessica, Christopher, Thomas, Cierra, Allen, Seth, Trey, Alex and Rebecca.
