Iris Hosch Anglin

Iris Dawn Hosch Anglin March 13, 1936 - July 28, 2016 Iris Anglin, 80, of Buford went home to be with our Lord on July 28, 2016 following a sudden illness. She was born in Buford, GA, the only child of the late Ira and Myrtle (Pass) Hosch. Growing up in the local community, she attended and graduated from Buford High School with honors in 1954. During high school, she worked at Allen Five and Ten where she met the love her of her life. Bill worked across the street as a pharmacist-apprentice to Chief Garner of Garner's Drugstore. In later years, she worked as the bookkeeper for Drake Furniture on Main Street Buford until just after the birth of her first son. After the death of Chief Garner, his widow, Florence, sold the drugstore to the young pharmacist, and Iris continued as a full-time homemaker for their family. Early in her life, she was a member of First Baptist Church Buford, until later in her life when she and Bill joined New Bethany Baptist Church, the home church of her mother's family. Iris was also a loving daughter, wife, and mother. Surviving family members include her husband of almost 60 years, William "Bill" Anglin; son, Randy Anglin; son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Sandra Anglin. Her gift for loving and encouraging others also led many to consider her a special sister, friend, or second mother. She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Ira and Myrtle Hosch; and generations of family and friends to greet her in heaven. Special thanks to the staff of Caring Hands Personal Care Home, including the family of Asmira and Tony Becic; caregivers, Charlene Perry, Patsy Samples, and Vickie Brannon.
