Ivis was a wonderful, devoted mother and wife. Her children and grandchildren were her whole world. She loved to relax with her girls and a nice glass of moscato. Ivis was happiest when she was spending time with her family and friends. She was a life-long Miami Dolphins fan and hated the Dallas Cowboys with a passion. Ivis was the lead teacher in the infants room at Primrose School in Fort Worth. She loved her job, her co-workers and spoke highly of her supervisors. She enjoyed going to concerts, puzzles, reading, word searches, games on her tablet, watching New Amsterdam, This is Us, I Love Lucy and Disney movies.
She has the most beautiful bright smile. If she did not smile at you, you had a reason to be scared. She was a tough bird who will be sorely missed by her family and friends.
Memorial Service will be held at 6 pm, Saturday, October 19, 2019 at Keller's Old Town Funeral Home, 220 Keller Parkway, Keller, Texas 76248.
