Iris Finch Newton passed away Tuesday, April 7, 2026 in Mona, Utah at her son's home. She was born May 24, 1934 in Goshen, Utah to Charles Edgar and Lillian Vearl Smith Finch.

Iris worked several jobs over the years, but her love was working as a tax consultant. She worked as a private tax consultant for many years. Later in life she served a mission with her husband for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in England.
