Ivy Ferguson Hicks

Ivy Fergusson Hicks (nee Little)

Peacefully on October 10, 2022, Ivy Hicks passed away at the Southeast Personal Care Home.

She is survived by her son Kelly (Julie), daughter Shawna (Myron), grandchildren Kelsey (Pat), Kevin (Sam), Brooke (Peter), Maddison, Tess; great grandchildren Jake and Remi and sister in law Gail McKay. She was predeceased by her husband Clark of 63 years.

Ivy was born on November 14, 1933 in Winnipeg, MB. As a youngster she grew up in the Earl Gray area and graduated from Kelvin High School where she was active in many sports. Ivy volunteered with many organizations but close to her heart was the speed skating community. She spent numerous winters standing in the cold weather timing at competitions and a proud moment for her was as a timer at the 1988 Winter Olympics. In her later years she volunteered at the Winnipeg Humane Society which brought her a lot of enjoyment.

Ivy’s favourite place on earth was their home on Lee River surrounded by her family especially her grandchildren and walking her dogs. She enjoyed many years of golf and curling at the Pinawa Golf and Country Club.

She was a wonderful mother and role model, the best grandmother and friend you could have. She will be sadly missed but her memories will live on and never be forgotten. She is now at peace and has rejoined Clark.

The family would like to express their deepest appreciation to the staff on Unit 2 at the Southeast Personal Care Home for the excellent care and compassion shown during her stay. A special thank you to her dancing partner John.
