Ivalu Jones Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Ivalu was a dedicated worker and homemaker for her family. She worked beside her husband on the family farm and drove a school bus for Wabash District # 348. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed it immensely, which led her and Bill to own and operate the Kozy Korner Cafe, in Lancaster, Illinois. Ivalu had a God-given gift of hospitality and was a true encourager of others. She loved to host dinners for Missionaries and Ministers. Ivalu was a life-long member of Lancaster Church of Christ. In her later years, she moved to Mount Carmel and attended Parkview Christian Church. Ivalu was very caring, and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
Ivalu leaves behind her daughter, Patsy Williams; three grandchildren, AJ French, Abby (Chris) Leucke, Jim (Lauren) Russell; seven great-grandchildren; four great great-grandchildren; several loved nieces and nephews.
Ivalu was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Mildred Hunt; sons-in-law, Steven Williams, and Robert Russell.
A private family Graveside Service will be held on Monday, June 5, 2023 at Cunningham Cemetery in rural Wabash County, IL, with Pastor Mike Knepper officiating.
