Ivy George Prentice
August 29, 1935 - March 17, 2020
Ivy George Prentice, 84, of Lewiston, NY, passed away on March 17, 2020 at his residence. Born in Yatesboro, PA, he was the son of the late James and Mary (Connell) Prentice.
Ivy came to Niagara Falls as a child with his father, attended local schools and graduated from Niagara Falls High School. He served proudly in the United States Army from 1954 until his honorable discharge in 1956. On February 15, 1958, Ivy married Patricia "Pat" (Horne) Prentice at St. John de LaSalle Church in Niagara Falls. Ivy worked at Kimberly Clark for 15 years, and most recently at the New York State Power Authority as Chief Warehouse Supervisor for 23 years prior to his retirement in 1994.
