My deepest condolences to the Ivery Family. We have lost a great man, who has provided a great foundation for the great Ivery Family! Sixty-five years with the lovely Mrs.Ivery is a blessing for the both of them and all of you. His natural smile and warm spirit will be missed by all. I wish the Ivery family God's strength during these challenging times as we honor and celebrate the life of good man, Mr. Willie Ivery Sr. Thank you all for the wonderful memories you shared with me.

Love,Peace and Happiness,

My name is Barbara Ivery, I am the Second Ms. Ivery (was married to Frank), Mrs. Bernice Ivery always let me know she was always the FIRST MRS. IVERY (LOL). Being married over 60 years that title was hers and only hers. (smile). My daughter is Tanya LaTrice (Pooh). and my, grandson Javon Anthony(Pucca), Papa didn't get a chance to meet Javon. I know he would have loved him forever. I remember Papa loved to play dominos, Frank would say that he and Willie (Billy Clyde) would let Papa win so he wouldn't get mad. Well I know that wasn't true, Papa was good at dominos. And he didn't have a mean bone in his body and he loved all his children, grandchildren and grreatgrandchildren all the same. And we all adored him, he will truly be missed.
