Joan Kay Ivy, age 76, passed away at her home in San Angelo, TX on September 21, 2023 with her husband Louis by her side. She was a beautiful wife, a wonderful mother, a spoiling grandmother, a caring aunt, a great friend, and a loving sister who left this earth before anyone was ready to say goodbye.
Born with an identical sister, Joan came into this world on December 29, 1946 in Del Rio, TX. She graduated from San Angelo Central High School in 1965. On March 10, 1984 Joan married Louis Ivy and had a child, Jennifer. Joan brought a smile to many peoples faces. Throughout her life, she enjoyed cruising and traveling, painting, artwork, putting puzzles together, going to the picture show, and spending time with her twin sister.
Joan worked at a credit union for 30 plus years before she retired. She was a very loving and caring lady. Joan moved her family into her mother’s home to take care of her mom until her mother passed. When the dementia began to take effect on her twin sister Judy, Joan helped take care of her as well. They had a special bond that cannot be explained nor broken. Joan loved her grandkids and had just welcomed the third grandchild a week prior to her passing.
