Iris Canter Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Goble's Fortuna Mortuary - Fortuna on Feb. 8, 2025.
Iris Elizabeth Canter, born on July 24, 2015, passed away on January 25, 2025, at the tender age of nine. A bright shining star, Iris brought boundless life and love to all who knew her.
She was the cherished daughter of Adam and Ana Canter and the beloved sister of Azalea. Iris was deeply loved by her grandparents Alice Roberts and Steve Roberts, as well as Bill and Patty Canter. She also held a special place in the hearts of her Aunt Amber (Uncle Corey "Sundog") Mascio, Uncle Zach Roberts, and cousins Cove and Jasper Mascio.
A fourth-grade student at Walker Elementary School. She found immense joy in being outdoors, whether riding her bike, camping with her family, or playing soccer with friends. Iris also was a ceremonial dancer for the Bear River Band, a role that brought her great pride and connection to her community. She was never a stranger to anyone.
Iris's radiant spirit touched everyone she met. Her joy and energy were a source of light for her family and friends, leaving an indelible mark on their lives.
A celebration of Iris's life will be held on February 15, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the Tish Non Village Community Center, located at 266 Keisner Road, Loleta, CA 95551. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of her beautiful life.
Though her time with us was far too short, Iris's memory will forever shine brightly in the hearts of those who loved her.
The family respectfully requests that no flowers be sent.
