She was born October 20, 1927, to Leon and Dorothy Kropf Braithwaite. She and her sweetheart, Thomas William Crow were married by President David O. McKay on June 26, 1947, in the Salt Lake Temple. Ivy Deane’s main joy was her family.

She was active in the LDS church, spending much of her time in the MIA programs, including 16 years on the Stake Young Women Board. Ivy and Tom served 1 year in the Provo Mission assigned to the St. George Historic Sites.

She was preceded in death by her parents and a son, Douglas William Crow. She is survived by her husband and three children: Kathie Nydegger (Preston), Karen Bodily (Edward), and Richard Crow (Gaylene). She has 14 grandchildren, and 30 great grandchildren.
