Robert M Ivey

Robert and his loving wife of 67 years, Carole, also enjoyed spending their lives together and going on numerous trips. They took several cruises and have been all over the world, including Europe, Russia, Germany, and Ireland. He loved his family, especially his grandchildren. Robert was an incredibly hard worker, having worked most of his life in one way or another. His work ethic was par none and continued even into his retirement - he was unable to just sit around.

His faith was an important part of his life. He was a devoted member of First Baptist Church of Douglasville.

He loved to be outdoors and spent many days going fishing. You could find him tinkering on a lawn mower motor, taking care of his lawn, building bird houses, or tending to his vegetable garden. Robert prided himself on his appearance and often dressed sharply. His legacy is a tribute to the life he lived. He will be so missed by his family who loved him so fiercely.

He is preceded in death by his parents, William and Mary Ivey; and 8 of his siblings.

He is survived by his wife, Carole Ivey; daughters, Terri (Darrel) Pearce and Lisa (Ronnie) Furr; brother and sister, Gene Ivey and Sue Chadwick; his grandchildren, Alex (Jessi) Pearce, Abbey (Andy) Thigpen, Micah (Samantha) Furr, and Ashton (Zach) Arnold; great grandchildren, Reese and Harris Arnold, Ava and Tessa Furr, Allie and Addison Thigpen, and Drake and Beau Pearce. He is further survived by other family, friends, and loved ones.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm. The funeral service will be officiated by Dr. John Pennington in the Rosehaven Chapel at 3:00 pm. He will be laid to rest at Sunrise Memorial Gardens following the service.
