Iva always worked hard along with her husband Bob to meet the needs of her family.  Her love for God was evident to all who knew her.  She taught Bible studies and was a part of the Spiritual Care Consultant team as a prayer partner.

If you met Iva, you were probably asked one of 2 questions at some point in the conversation, "Have you asked Jesus into your heart?" or "How old were you when you got saved?" She knew her purpose in life was to take as many people to heaven with her as possible.  She loved her family dearly and was happy anytime they all got together. Going out to lunch with family and friends was always special to her. Iva spent winters in Florida for over 20 years and always looked forward to seeing her family and friends there.
