Ivy Noon Duvall, 84, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Sunday, March 13, 2022, at North Mississippi Medical Center after an extended illness. He was born December 27, 1937, in Lee County to Noon Duvall and Vera Sheffield Duvall. Ivy was a 1956 Mooreville High School graduate. On October 28, 1960, he married the former Strattie Marie Schumpert on West Jackson Street in their Pastor’s home.
Ivy was a dedicated family man, always putting his wife and children above himself. During his children’s younger years, he made many sacrifices so they could participate in all the activities they wanted. He worked at MidSouth Packers, Blue Bell, Rockwell and finally at Hancock Fabrics where he retired after 18 years. During his working years, he also was an expert cake maker and decorator. He would not only plan weddings with brides, but he would do everything from catering to floral arrangements. He even taught cake decorating for Wilton for over 30 years. He also enjoyed going to watch Tupelo High School basketball games through the years.
Ivy was a member of First Baptist Church in Tupelo for over 40 years. He grew up at Auburn Baptist Church and dedicated his life to Christ during his membership at Auburn.
