It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rose Ivy, of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Born on August 7, 1937, Rose lived a long and fulfilling life before succumbing to natural causes on June 11, 2025.

Rose was the beloved wife of George Ivy, whom she married in 1962. Together, they raised four children: Ed, Paul, George, and Trudy. Rose was also a devoted grandmother to ten grandchildren.

Throughout her life, Rose had a variety of interests and hobbies. She was a skilled seamstress, known for her intricate embroidery work. She also had a deep love for reading, and could often be found immersed in a good book. In her later years, Rose became a regular at the local bingo hall, where she always seemed to have the luckiest card.

Rose was a graduate of Saint Joseph High School, where she excelled academically and formed lifelong friendships. She was known for her sharp wit and infectious laughter, always quick with a joke or a kind word for those around her.

Rose will be greatly missed by all who knew her. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Kalamazoo Public Library in her honor.

Rest in peace, Rose Ivy. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.
