The house on the corner of 100 North State Street in Salina, Utah holds very special meaning to the William Dewey Ivie family. Bill was born in this family home on March 30, 1938 to Dewey and Tirza Marie Bastian Ivie, and passed from this life June 30, 2012, at the age of 74 just a few feet from the place he was born. He and his wife, Linda, lovingly raised all of their children in this house as well.
Bill married Eileen Jones, they later divorced. He married Linda Ann Henline, September 2, 1971 in Ely, NV.
He was a truck driver most of his life, for both Cox Construction and later for Barney Trucking. Even though he supported his family by driving truck, he really wanted to make his living being a “rock hound”. He taught his kids what to look for and the worth of the rock. He enjoyed life, loved his family and enjoyed the times he was able to spend with them.
He is survived by his wife, Linda Ivie of Salina; children: Stacy (Bart) Provstgaard of Santaquin, Kelly (Dale) Hunsaker of Redmond, Paige Hartley of Salina, Lisa (Jeff) Black of Spanish Fork, Lisa Kay (Bobby) Frederick of LaVerkin, Lila (Mick) Jackson of Fillmore, Shane (Tammie) Ivie of Washington City, Waylon (Tara) Ivie of Salina, Becky Ivie of Cedar City; 44 grandchildren ; 29 great-grandchildren; siblings, Maxine Clark of Salina, Hazel Draper of Lancaster, CA, Lois (Riley) Newton and Neal Ivie, both of Salt Lake City.
