She accepted Christ at an early age and joined Pleasant

During this time,she exposed her students to many educational field trips such as the Mammoth Cave,Lincoln's Farm,and the Cincinnati Zoo.Mrs Ivery,as her children fondly
called her,loved teaching but her favorite thing was helping
others.Each summer she and our dad raised a vegetable garden
that was at least an acre in size.This enabled them to give
to others.

In later years,she became a member of the First Baptist Church in Campbellsville,Kentucky where her daughters attended.She taught Vacation Bible School as well as Sunday
School.As time went on,she joined her husband and became a
member of Fannie Chapel CME Church.Mrs Ivery was a member of
the Order of Eastern Star,PHA and Kentucky Education Association.

help over the years.Those who continued to write,send cards,
