Ivory Sheasia Jean Wilburn was born on August 31, 2008 and passed away peacefully August 2, 2024. Ivory was a force of nature who changed all of our lives for the better. She experienced emotions deeply and passionately. Her laughter was infectious. When something was sad, Ivory felt it to her core and immediately wanted to comfort others. Her excitement was unmatched, and her voice always the loudest in moments of joy. And you can bet, when she didn't agree, her grumbles could be heard down the hall. Above all, Ivory's greatest emotion was love. She had an extraordinary love for people and never met a stranger—within minutes of meeting someone, she would make them feel like they were old friends.

Ivory cherished her teachers, classmates, and most importantly, her family. To those who were her special people, the ones that helped us carry her through life, thank you.

Thank you for loving her as much as she loved you and for helping her become one of the cherished souls we have ever known.
