Mrs. Ivey was always a gracious lady who loved to have fun and smile. She made it obvious that she loved her children and their friends. I always had fun at Leo's house on South Railroad Street. I celebrate the fact that Mrs. Gladys Ivey lived a full life and truly cared for my and other's wellbeing. She was an easy person to love.
God Bless us all...Bill Blau
