Iantha worked and retired from R.H. Donnelly after 31 years as a production coordinator. She was a Den Mother for Pack 13 and president of the PTA when her children were in school. She enjoyed travelling, reading, and doing genealogy research. A lifelong learner, she continued to take classes as an adult from math to auto mechanics, just to keep her mind active. Iantha continued the family tradition of the Memorial Day picnics and hikes at Turkey Run. She was a treasure that will be deeply missed.
