Iris Eileen Nagel

Iris lived life with enthusiasm and joy. She loved gambling, Elvis, and her daily Starbucks—simple pleasures that brought her happiness and were a big part of who she was. She was known for her warmth, her loyalty, and her ability to make friends feel like family.

She is survived by her beloved children, Randi Levine and her husband Larry, and Hal Nagel and his wife Lisa Arsenault; and by her cherished grandchildren, Joshua, Austin, Chloe, Amelia, and Brooke, who were a constant source of pride and joy in her life.

Iris was predeceased by her devoted husband, Stephen Nagel, and her parents, Louis and Celia Wilen.
