Hastings Reminder - Sat. March 10, 2012

Hastings, MI- Iris Lucile (Baldwin) Clum was born April 24, 1926, in Hastings, 
the fifth child of Annie (Peck) and Ira Baldwin. She passed away March 6, 2012, 
in Yuma, AZ.

Iris graduated from Hastings High School. She married La Verne Clum in 1944 in 
the Hastings Methodist Church. The couple lived their entire life in the 
Hastings - Woodland - Lake Odessa area.  In 1981 they bought a second home in 
Yuma, Arizona, where they spent the winter months.

Iris sold real estate for many years - first at Transue Reality and later at 
Formula Reality, both in Hastings. She retired in late 1986.

Active throughout life, Iris's passion was traveling. She visited all 50 states 
and over 60 foreign countries. She enjoyed seeing the Megellanic penguins in 
Chile, the Great Migration of animals in Africa, the Australian Outback, the 
100 year old giant tortoises in the Galapagos, and the polar bears in 
Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, among others.

When her children were young, Iris was highly involved in the Barry County 4-H 
program. She was a 4-H leader, mentoring dozens of young members. In Yuma, she 
was a charter member of the Yuma East Country Club, participating in all their 
activities and organizing many herself. At her Yuma church, Iris spent Monday 
mornings helping make quilts for the homeless.

She was a member of the Lake Odessa Central United Methodist Church and the 
Gila Mountain United Methodist Church in Yuma, AZ.

Iris was preceded in death by her husband, La Verne George Clum; her three 
brothers, Robert, Miles and Carl; and sister, Louise.

She is survived by her three children, Terry (David) Fassburg, Nancy (Gary) 
Spencer, and Jack (Paula) Clum; seven grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; 
and long tome companion Leslie Soli.

A celebration of Iris's life will be held at a later date.
