IVY (nee WILLIAMS) NISH
September 12, 1920 to June 28, 2014
The family of Ivy Nish are sad to announce her passing on Saturday, June 28, 2014. She was the cherished wife of Robert Lee Nish (who predeceased her on January 13, 1983), mother of Gillian Nish, Robert (Barbara) Nish and grandmother of Christopher Nish, great grandmother of Taylor and Zoe Nish, grandmother of Cari (Ashley) Gibbons and great grandmother of Cameron and Quinn Gibbons, grandmother of Andrew Nish (who predeceased her in 2011); grandmother of Stuart Nish and great grandmother of Miles and Hazel Nish, mother of Arthur Nish and Dean (Heather) Nish, grandmother of Gordon (Morgan) Nish and great grandmother of Isaac and Mia Nish; grandmother of Alanna Nish, Becky Nish, Alex Nish, Julie Nish and Liam Nish.
Ivy was born in Edgbaston, Birmingham, England and traveled to Canada in 1946 to become the bride of Lee Nish in Cardston on October 3, 1946. They lived in Kimball, AB and moved into their own home that Lee built on their farm located 16 miles southeast of Cardston. They resided there until Lee's death in 1983 after which Ivy moved into Cardston. Ivy leaves many descendants from families of Lee's predeceased brothers and sisters, Ray (May) Nish, Frank (Hazel) Nish, Dave (Gladys) Schneider, Glen Nish and Lila Nish.
She is survived by a very special sister in law Velma Nish and great friends Katie Jasperson and Marjorie Little as well as many friends, neighbors and war brides who will treasure memories of Ivy.
British families of the deceased Williams include Ivy's sisters Rose and Lily and brothers Dan, Arthur and Jack are all remembered at this time.
Ivy has requested that there be no funeral and cremation has taken place. A private family interment will occur at a later date.
