Iva M. Price

Iva M. Price, age 94, longtime resident of South Lyon, passed away on July 20, 2024. She was born May 4, 1930 in Pittsfield Township, Michigan daughter of William and Gertrude (Brown) Spangler.  Iva was united in marriage to Alfred C. Price on June 18, 1950; they were lovingly devoted to one another for 47 years until his death on June 21, 1997.

Iva worked as the Deli Manager at Kroger in Brighton for over 30 years before retiring.

Iva delighted in gardening, cultivating beautiful flower beds around her home that flourished with a vibrant mix of annuals and perennials. Her love for home improvement projects was evident in the additions she built herself.  Iva's creativity shone through in her woodworking endeavors, where she worked alongside her husband to craft exquisite grandfather clocks, cradles, and candlestick holders, which became cherished gifts for family and friends. A skilled seamstress, she took pride in sewing most of her own clothing, adding a personal touch to her wardrobe.  Music was a constant companion in Iva's life, and she often had a radio tuned to easy listening. In the kitchen, she was a wonderful cook, always bringing delicious dishes to family celebrations and holidays, sharing meals with Joan and Bob Bennett, the late Barbara and the late Richard Figueiredo, Kim and Ken Stratford, Brian and Pam Figueiredo, Mark Figueiredo, Korinne Mongahan, and Karmel and Tom Downs.  Above all, Iva was a devoted wife and mother, a loving sister, aunt, and friend. Her warmth and generosity touched everyone who knew her, and she will be deeply missed by all who loved her.

Iva is survived by many loving nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews.   She was preceded in death by her husband, her son Paul, and her siblings, Norman, Earl, Grace, Ila, and Gathel.

The funeral service will be held Wednesday, July 24, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. in the chapel at Oakland Hills Memorial Gardens, 43300 W. 12 Mile Road, Novi where she will be laid to rest with her husband Alfred and her son Paul.
