Ivy Chandrawattie Ogle

Ivy Chandrawattie Ogle was born in Skeldon, Corentyne, Guyana on December 16, 1931 – the eldest of 11 children. Ivy exemplified a life rooted in grace and service, working as a midwife and nurse until her retirement. Throughout her life she gave generously of her time, her heart, and her wisdom, always placing the needs of others before her own. She entered eternal rest on May 20, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones.

Ivy’s life was a radiant testament to the enduring power of love, the quiet strength of compassion, the beauty of selflessness, and the timeless elegance of style and grace. Whether through comforting words, thoughtful gestures, or simply being present with those she loved, her joy, humor, and love were constant reflections of her remarkable character. Her unwavering devotion to family and her ability to uplift everyone around her will remain an inspiration to all who had the blessing of knowing her.

Ivy was the guiding light of our family — a devoted mother, a treasured grandmother and great-grandmother, and a beloved sister and aunt to her many nieces and nephews. She is survived by her children: Andrea, Samuel, Adrian, William, and Nigel; her daughters-in-law: Katherine and Michelle; her grandchildren: Kayo, Femi, Vanessa, Adreena, Deuayne, Kevin, Ashley, Christopher, Christian, Nickolas, Alexander, Jason, Adriana, Cameron, and Alyssa; and her precious great-grandchildren: Ethan and Drew. She is reunited in heaven with her husband, William; her sisters: Shirley, Shamo, Eunice, and Sarojni; and her brothers: Ram, Kumar, Sato, and Buddy.

A celebration of Ivy’s life will be held on Saturday, June 7th at 11am at Newcomer Funeral Home. The family kindly requests that, in true celebration of her life and spirit, guests wear bright colors to reflect the joy and vibrancy she brought to our lives. A repast will be held at the home of Dr. Samuel and Mrs. Katherine Ogle at 1pm.

Though our hearts are heavy, we rejoice in the promise of resurrection and eternal life. Ivy now rests in the arms of the Savior, and we are comforted by the words of Psalm 116:15:

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants."
