Nancy Tuttle Ivers of Stuart, Florida and Shelter Island, New York died peacefully in her home at Addington Place on Thursday, December 31, 2020. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 63 years, F. Kenneth Ivers II, who died October 30, 2020.
Nancy was born in Baltimore, Maryland on January 6, 1935. Her parents were Alice Boyle and John M. Tuttle, Jr., of Meriden, Connecticut. In 1957 she graduated from Connecticut College in New London, Connecticut with a degree in political science.
During the summer of 1955, she traveled to Shelter Island, New York for a job at the Pridwin Hotel as a waitress. There, she met her future husband, Ken. They were married at St. Bart's Church in Manhattan on July 6, 1957. Together they raised three children in Manhasset, New York where they lived for 37 years.
After Ken retired, they split their time between Shelter Island, New York and Palm City, Florida where she was a long-time resident of the Harbour Ridge community. She and Ken were avid golfers and, even though Nancy did not learn the game until after she was married, she became quite competitive. She was a longtime member and top competitor within both the Women's Metropolitan Golf Association, serving New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and the Women's Long Island Golf Association. She earned the title of Women's Champion multiple times at Gardiner's Bay Country Club on Shelter Island, NY, Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club in Palm City, FL, and North Hempstead Country Club in Port Washington, NY, where she held the course record with a score of 71. Throughout those years, her skills earned her six holes-in-one.
Nancy passed the love of the game of golf on to her eight beloved grandchildren and she enjoyed nothing more than watching them play and improve. She spent over 25 summers gathering them close together at the cottage she shared with Ken on Shelter Island. Her time, devotion and interest in their lives allowed eight cousins to develop relationships that will last a lifetime.
Nancy is survived by her three children, Frederick (Rick) Kenneth Ivers III of Chatham, New Jersey, Linda Ivers Quinn of East Norwich, New York, and Karen Ivers Dailey of Stuart, Florida and eight grandchildren: Nicholas Ivers, Nathalie Ivers Kiely, Eric Ivers, Sean Quinn, Halsey Quinn, Shea Dailey, Ryan Dailey and Lauren Dailey.
A memorial service will be held at Forest Hills Funeral Home, Palm City Chapel, at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, January 22, 2021. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to The Hope Center for Autism, 2580 SE Willoughby Blvd., Stuart, FL, 34994, hopecenterforautism.org.
