Iris Ruby Schofield (nee Almond)

We are saddened to share that Iris Ruby Schofield; wife, mother, grandmother, sister and auntie passed away peacefully, with family by her side on April 21, 2026, at the Lions Prairie Manor at the age of 98 years.

The Manor had been her home for the last 10 years and she will be remembered fondly by many who encountered her in the halls, smiling, singing, humming and surprising people by greeting them in French.

A full obituary will follow. In the meantime, put your kettle on for tea (she liked nothing better than to share a cup and conversation) and give a toast to Mom for a life well lived.

If friends so wish, donations in memory of Iris can be made to Trinity United Church, 15 Tupper St. S., Portage la Prairie, MB, R1N 1W7 or to the Lions Prairie Manor Foundation 24 9th St. S.E., Portage la Prairie, MB, R1N 3V4.

A tree will be planted and cared for by McKenzies Portage Funeral Chapel. www.mckenziesportagefuneralchapel.com 204-857-4021.
