Miss Ivory Louise Tate (Swoopes)

Her Legacy- The "Excellence in Fruition Foundation", a non profit organization, located in Shoreline WA. Ivory's dream was to help and encourage children, teens, the elderly and homeless. The current project Ivory was helping with is preparing a house in Shoreline to house the homeless in transition.

Although Ivory's time on earth was short she touched the lives of so many. Ivory was the only child at home but she took on the role of "big sister" to her many younger cousins whom she loved dearly.

Ivory is survived by her parents Vivian Tate-Swoopes and Frederick Swoopes, sisters; Amber, Andreah and Meleah, brothers; Frederick Jr. and Terrance Swoopes, Aunt Lonia Tate (2nd Mom), Uncle Charles Tate, Grandfather James Tate, Grandmother Ivory Tate and a host of great aunts, uncles and cousins.

She began her walk with the Lord at a young age as a member of the Causey Memorial Church in Seattle.

Thank you Ivory for giving us so many gifts of love, inspiring us to help others, sharing your compassion and thoughtfulness, but most of all for sharing your precious time on earth with us. We know you will watch over us as we keep you forever in our hearts.
