Ivy Joan Franklin

To know Ivy was to absolutely love her genuinely infectious and humorous spirit.  Ivy was generous, willing to give whatever she could to help anyone.  She was an independent straight shooter of a woman, it was how the village raised her to be, always coming from a place of love and pure intention.  Ivy loved to travel and spend time with her family and friends sharing her bigger than life smile and personality.  She will be carried in the hearts of all who loved her especially her son whom she’s said to have loved more than life itself.
