Known as MeeMaw to the many children in her life, Iva was a kind and gentle soul whose interests included a love for animals, playing bingo, NASCAR races, her Dallas Cowboys and camping. Her greatest passion however was the amazing love and adoration she earned as just being MeeMaw. She was constantly caring and gave generously of herself to satisfy their every need. She will be forever loved and missed by all who knew her.
