Ivy B. Patterson, 96, peacefully passed away Sunday, December 22, 2019 in Saint George, Utah.

Ivy was born on March 8, 1923 to Adolph and Etta Anderson of Zahl, North Dakota.

After graduating high school, Ivy moved to Southern California where she met the love of her life, Elmo J. Patterson. They were married on August 29, 1943 and sealed in the Manti, Utah temple on October 17, 1989.

They loved to garden together and go camping, square dancing and golfing.  Together they shared 69 wonderful years of love and companionship until Elmo’s passing in 2012.

They were blessed with three children: Shirley R. Englund, who preceded them into heaven in 2009; Robert W. Patterson (Julie), of St. George, Utah and Jack E. Patterson, of Pacific Grove, CA.

Ivy leaves behind a legacy of love and has touched the lives of so many.  She is survived by her two sons, Robert and Jack, sister Helen Ashworth, of Ely, Nevada, 10 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, and 21 great-great grandchildren.

Family members will gather at the Payson City Cemetery in Payson, Utah on Saturday, January 4, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. to lay Ivy to rest.
