IvaLee's obituary
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of IvaLee Neer on May 14, 2023. Born on November 12, 1938, IvaLee lived a rich and fulfilling life, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and devotion to her family and friends.
IvaLee married her beloved husband, Donald Neer, in 1957. Together, they forged a life centered around their shared passion for their family and home. Though she was predeceased by her husband, Donald, and their son, Brad Neer, IvaLee's memory will be cherished by her surviving daughters, Tammy Handel, Julie Pfeifer, Susan Shore, Kelle Menchaca and her older sister Willa Quinn.
A talented cook, IvaLee took great pride in her Swedish meatballs, which were among her favorite foods. She also enjoyed watching any old western shows and cheering on her Seattle Mariners. Her devotion to God, her family, love for gardening, and passion for cooking were causes near and dear to her heart.
IvaLee's spirit will live on through her 4 children, 17 grand children and 26 great grandchildren, who will carry on her legacy of love and determination. A testament to her unwavering optimism and faith in herself, the phrase "I believe in IvaLee!" was often spoken by those who knew her best.
We invite those who wish to honor IvaLee's memory to celebrate her life and the impact she had on those around her. May we all strive to embody her strength, selflessness, and unwavering love for her family.
