Iris collaborated in the work of Caux in England, in Geneva, among others. It was in Paris, where she accompanied the Mat Manson family, as I recall, that my friendship with her began.
Iris returned to Basel for family reasons and got the job of social worker for foreign students at the university, thanks to her open-mindedness and her amazing gift for languages.
In 1965, Iris married our friend Alfred Kunz, a pastor in Basel. When Alfred Kunz was awarded an honorary doctorate by the theological faculty of the University of Basel for his outstanding social work in that city, he said that he will take the honoris, but the causa is for her wife. That sums up the great help Iris gave her husband in his many activities. She was also a devoted wife, mother and hostess who will not be forgotten by her husband, children, four grandchildren and friends.
Beaten by a cancer, Iris Kunz-Aegler passed away in October 2008
