Obituary

Audrey Sarah Ives

Beloved wife of Albert, mother of Joan and George

It is with great sadness that the Ives family notes the passing of Audrey Sarah Ives. Mrs. Ives, aged 82, died at her home on Tuesday morning, having been in bad health for the past 18 months. She had suffered from heart trouble for the past year. She was a well-known amateur artist and often exhibited her best works at the Greenwich Art Society. Her paintings toured throughout Europe, and she even painted a portrait of the Queen. Her greatest achievement was the Alford Prize, which she won in 1985. She was the younger sister of the well-known sculptor Annie Taverner. Although not as well-known as her sister, many think her talent was greater. Mrs. Ives was also a concert violinist in her younger days and performed with the Pinedale Orchestra. She also served in the Peace Corps for five years as a nurse’s aide in Rwanda where she was awarded the Queen’s Medal for Valor when she assisted an injured tourist who was attacked by a tiger. Mrs. Ives fought the tiger with her bare hands and then provided life-saving medical attention to the tourist. In addition to her husband Albert, she is survived by a son George, a daughter Joan and four grandchildren. Flowers can be sent to the Pine Grove Funeral Home in Spring Valley.
