Lillian Clarice Ivey Kennedy was born February 8, 1943, in Jacksonville Florida. She was the only child of Norine Trammell Ivey and Harold Bertram Ivey. She died September 27, 2025.
She graduated from Robert E. Lee High School, the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Education, and the University of North Florida with a Masters degree in Exceptional Student Education and Administration.
She held various positions in Brevard, Hillsborough, and Putnam Counties as well as the Northeast Florida Educational Consortium and the Florida Department of Education.
