Iris at the memorial meeting for Godfrey in 2012, and in Shackleton Hall, Birmingham with Godfrey and Katt in 1984.

Dear Comrades,

You will be sad to hear that Iris Cremer, the long-time secretary of the UK Stalin Society, passed away peacefully yesterday evening after a short illness. She was 70. Her contribution to the world revolutionary movement was not only weighty but lasted over 45 years. She gave her all to serving the people and the cause of proletarian revolution, as indeed did her husband Godfrey who died two years ago.

The next meeting of the London Stalin Society is on 27 April and messages of condolence will be gratefully received.

With comradely regards,

Ella Rule

Dear Comrades,

It is with great sadness that we heard of the passing of Comrade Iris Cremer, Secretary of the Stalin Society-UK. Comrade Cremer’s steadfast dedication to our cause was, is, and will always be an inspiration to us all. On behalf of the Stalin Society of North America, I would like to extend our deepest and heart-felt condolences to Comrade Cremer’s family, friends and comrades.

A fighter in the proletarian struggle was lost today; but the fight continues to our final victory.
