The death has occurred of:
Ivan S. Forsythe
In Loving Memory of Ivan
Ivan passed suddenly and peacefully at Mercy Hospital, Anderson (Cincinnati, Ohio, USA). Surrounded by those he loved, his last whispered words were, as always, an expression of his enduring love for them.
Ivan and Jean, his beloved wife of 68 years, were married in Banbridge Unitarian Church. Following a modest service and tea at Granny’s, they travelled to Shannon Airport and met up with their lifelong friends, Laura and Walter, before embarking on a journey to Ottawa, Canada. A few years later, Ivan accepted a position with Ford Motor Company, and the family relocated to the United States.
Ivan and Jean were blessed with two wonderful daughters, Lisa and Shannon, and later, a loving son-in-law, Randy. A private Service of Committal was held at Spring Grove Cemetery, followed by a luncheon at the Cincinnati Women’s Club, where Jean has been a cherished member for many years.
Ivan was an enthusiastic cyclist, and one of his favorite rides was in Northern Michigan. This particular ride was dedicated to his long-ago friend and mentor, Eddie Sands, from Banbridge.
His family will forever hold him in their hearts and cherish the memories they shared.
