She was born to Joseph and Lilian Hemsley (formerly Goldring) in Brighton, England.
Ivy grew up in Brighton and met her future husband, Richard (Dick), there while he was stationed in England serving with the U.S. Army. They married there in 1956 and recently celebrated their 62nd anniversary.
She enjoyed music, dancing and traveling, but most of all in being a good wife and mother which she surely was. Fortunately, all four of the children, which are all out of state, were able to pay her a recent visit before she passed.
Ivy was preceded in death by her sister, Iris, and her brother, Ronald. She is survived by her husband Richard and two sons, John and wife Susan of Jamestown, NY and Wayne of Amherst, NH; two daughters, Lorraine DeMambro of Lakewood, NY and LeeAnn LaFosse of Troy, NH; also, 12 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren and 5 nieces.
A future family gathering will be held up north at a later date to celebrate Ivy’s life.
We wish to extend our sincere thanks to the excellent care Lower Cape Fear Hospice gave to Ivy.
