Iris Lozada, best known to her family as "Fancy Grandma," transitioned unexpectedly on Thursday November 23, 2023 in Coral Springs, FL, at age 74.

Iris was born and raised in New York. She has dedicated her life to serving the underprivileged in her community and in her personal life.  The first in her family to graduate from college, she was formally recognized as one of the few Hispanic female leaders within the community at the 5th Annual Latin Expo in NYC. Throughout her career she encouraged others to educate themselves and always promoted personal growth. Iris led by example and treated everyone with respect and dignity regardless of their title.

Iris loved travelling, especially to Europe and loved all things Irish. Her hobbies included shopping and she had a passion for growing African violets.

Survived by two daughters, 5 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. The "Fancy Grandma" nickname was bestowed upon her from her great granddaughter, Dezi, due to Iris' love of Chanel perfume and Louis Vuitton purses. The other grandchildren carried on the title.
