Iva was an employee of BF Goodrich and Kellwood Company.
What Iva enjoyed most of all was spending time with her family, helping others, quilting, canning, cooking, laughing and telling stories. She never met a stranger and had a way of making everyone she met feel like family. She will be greatly missed and loved forever and ever.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Roane General Skilled Nursing Facility for the wonderful and compassionate care that was given to her during her illness.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association 1601 2nd Ave. Charleston, WV 25387.
Iva's lifelong wish was to be cremated.
A memorial service will be held Sunday, September 1, 2013, 2:00pm, at the Stump Funeral Home in Arnoldsburg. Visitation will be from 1:00p.m. to 2:00 p.m. prior to the service. |
