Ivy was born on September 27, 1933, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Wylock and Viola Scott. She married Kenneth "Russell" Tucker, and together they shared many years of love and devotion. Throughout her life, Ivy had a deep passion for music, which she shared with others as a dedicated music teacher. She played several instruments, with a particular love for the piano and violin, and was known for her ability to play nearly any instrument with skill. Music was a constant source of joy for her, and it was one of the many gifts she shared with her students and loved ones.

A devout Christian, Ivy's faith was central to her life. Above all, she cherished her family, and her love for them was evident in every aspect of her life. Ivy is survived by her sons, Chris (LaRena) Tucker and Jeffrey (Lynda) Tucker; grandchildren, Christopher (Joni) Tucker, Jesse (Jason) Oman, Katherine Tucker, Tiffany (Nate) Dittbenner; 11 great-grandchildren; and her sister, Judith Scott.

Ivy was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband Kenneth "Russell," her granddaughter Amanda Tucker, and her brother Michael Scott.

Her memory will live on through the many lives she touched, the music she shared, and the love she gave freely to those around her. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
