grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In addition to her husband of 58 years, she is survived by three sons,

and Larry Ivy and his wife, Marie, of Clinton; two daughters, Wanda Sue Jones
and Marie "Poolie" Ivy, both of Oak Ridge; and two sisters, Martha Garner and

Young of Osceola, Ark., Augusta Booker of Aberdeen, Md., Nola Ivy and Lillie
Polk, both of Chicago, Ill., and Virgie Mae Ivy of Dallas, Texas; and by 12
grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and several nieces, nephews and other
relatives.

of Oak Ridge.
In addition to her parents, Mrs. Ivy was preceded in death by a daughter,
Ruby Lee Capers, and a son, Robert Ivy; by four brothers, Homer Young, J.W.
Young, Jimmie Lee Young Sr. and Lonnie Young; and also by a grandson, Charles
Ivy III.
The funeral will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28, at Mount Zion
