Lois Ivey was a real treasure to our family. She was always behind the scenes making sure everyone and everything was taken care of. With her big heart and gentle kindness, she spent her life caring for others. Every time I would see her, she would go down the list of family members to ask "Well how is ______ doing"? She would always add a kind comment about each person. She will be greatly missed by us all. We have truly been blessed by her presence in this family.
