Peggy Ivory

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Peggy Ivory, who departed from this world on February 23, 2026, at the age of 70. Born on November 4, 1955, in St. Louis, Missouri, Peggy was a beacon of love, strength, and resilience throughout her life. Peggy was the cherished daughter of the late Vance and Marlene Rush, whose nurturing and values laid the foundation for the compassionate woman she would become. Her upbringing in St. Louis was marked by laughter, warmth, and a deep appreciation for family, which she carried into her own life as a devoted mother and grandmother. Peggy was predeceased by her beloved daughters, She'Tongela Crutcher, Kami Henderson, and Kai Henderson. Despite the profound loss she endured, Peggy's spirit remained unbroken, and she found solace and joy in her role as a grandmother. Her grandchildren—Brandon Henderson, Ke’Von Rush, Kaila Henderson, Tony Henderson, and Robert Henderson—were the light of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them, imparting wisdom, kindness, and an abundance of love. Peggy's life was a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of unconditional love. Her nurturing nature and unwavering support were a source of comfort to all who knew her. Whether through her wise counsel or infectious laughter, she had a way of making everyone feel valued and understood. She leaves behind her devoted husband, Robert Ivory, who stood by her side through the joys and trials of life. Their love story was one of mutual respect and unyielding support, a partnership that served as an inspiration to all who knew them. In honoring Peggy's wishes, a private funeral ceremony will be held to celebrate her life and legacy. Though her physical presence will be deeply missed, Peggy's spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. As we bid farewell to this remarkable woman, let us remember Peggy Ivory for her kindness, her resilience, and the love she shared so generously. Her life, though marked by loss, was also one of profound beauty and immeasurable impact. She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched. May she rest in peace, surrounded by the love she gave so freely in life.
