Ivysplace.org was created to honor the memory of Ivy Nesson Ogg. This site is a testament to her spirit and to the beautiful things she passed on to her friends, family, and community.
Ivy was diagnosed with stage IV Ovarian Cancer in June of 1996. It was not only Ivy that bore the burden of cancer but an entire community of loved ones.
Her diagnosis was far from unique but the way in which she dealt with her cancer and said goodbye certainly was. Ivy was above all a communicator.
Ivy was still alive when her family decided to create this space in her honor along with The Ivy Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising money for ovarian cancer awareness.
She left behind her a legacy of generosity and her wishes to share information and provide support to others.
It is our hope that Ivy's story, and the stories of others who have dealt with ovarian cancer, will help and inspire you. Thank you for visiting Ivy's Place.
