Ivy was born on September 9, 1948 in Decatur, to Vernon and Margaret Butler Balding.  She worked for the State of Illinois as a bookkeeper until her retirement.  She loved gardening, traveling and spending time with her family.  She was always ready to listen, but never judged.

Memorial services for Ivy will be held at 6:00 p.m. Friday April 22, 2016 at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Mount Pulaski with Mark Weber officiating.  Visitation will be two hours prior to services from 4:00-6:00 p.m.

Private graveside services will be held at Graceland Cemetery in Decatur, at a later date.
