Ivy Jones, 28, passed away on January 16. Ivy was deeply loved and brought laughter, warmth, and a quiet sense of belonging to all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Born on October 14, 1997, at American Fork Hospital, Ivy had a rare ability to excel at anything she genuinely cared about. She was thoughtful, kind, and never placed herself above others. Ivy had a natural gift for making people feel welcome, seen, and valued.
She loved gaming, coding, traveling, and long conversations filled with curiosity and ideas. A lifelong self-learner, Ivy discovered computer programming at age 12 after learning the basics from her dad. From there, she taught herself through YouTube and independent study, becoming an exceptional programmer well before college and ultimately earning her degree in computer programming.
Ivy was effortlessly talented. Whether throwing a football, skateboarding, playing tennis, riding the unicycle, or picking up a guitar, she seemed to master things instinctively. She taught herself guitar online and loved jamming to blues tracks, often stopping everyone nearby just to listen.
Ivy was always welcoming—a place you could go and simply… be. There were always games, snacks, and a calm, gentle atmosphere that made people feel at ease the moment they arrived. She kept regular, cherished routines with friends, including weekly video game nights with Oscar and pretzel-bite evenings with Autumn. Ivy’s space was a place to sit, relax, and enjoy quiet companionship. She was, in every sense, the introvert’s introvert.
