On September 4, 1935, the late Rosie and Fred Ivey were blessed 
with their first born whom they named, FREDDIE MAE. She was 
the eldest of four children. Her death on Sunday, November 23, 
2014 signaled the end of her earthly connection with us. 
Freddie Maes religious journey began seventy plus years ago with 
her Christening at Bethel A.M.E. Church. She grew up serving 
in Bethel, and she became affiliated with the Stewardess Board, 
Womens Missionary Society, Twentieth Century Board and Happy 
Bunch. 
Her early education was received from Steed Street, Immaculate 
Conception and C. T. Walker Elementary Schools. She attended 
Lucy Craft Laney High School and was a member of the Class of 
1954. In preparing for a successful life in the world of work, she chose 
a career in the healthcare sector as a Certified Nursing Assistant. 
She was well traveled, both domestically and internationally. 
Because of the beautiful, eye-catching, well-coordinated attire she 
always wore, many considered her a fashion diva. She was always 
very well dressed. In her leisure time, she enjoyed playing bingo and 
spending quality time with her family and friends. 
In the social arena and for more than sixty years, Freddie Maes 
passion has been with the American Legion where she was a 
member of the Executive Board on the district level. She has also 
served as President of the American Legion Auxiliary-Department 
of Georgia, and of the Ladies Auxiliary, Post 505. 
Cherishing her memories are: two sons, Dr. Thomas (Myrtice) Perry 
and SFC Jamie (Chunita) Vick; sister, Ann M. (William) Allen; two 
brothers, John W. (Colis) Ivey and Walter D. (Ernestine) Ivey; six 
grandchildren, Danielle, Reverend Devon Perry, Ciera, Tatyanf, 
Ashlyn and Alexis; great grandchild, Kennedy; and a host of nieces, 
nephews, cousins and friends. 
Freddie Mae enjoyed a full, good life, and as she neared the end 
of her journey on last Sunday, she said these words to her brother, 
John: Im not tired, Im ready to go.

Ushers 
When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary 
mile, just forget if you can, that I ever frowned, and remember only 
my smile. Forget the unkind words I have spoken, remember some 
good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartaches and remember 
Vve had loads of fun. Forget that I have stumbled and blundered and 
sometimes fell by the way, remember I have fought some hard battles, 
and won, ere the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going, 
I would not have you sad for a dcy. But in summers just gather some 
flowers, and remember the place \>here I lay. And come in the evening 
when the sun paints the sky in tae west, stand for a moment beside 
me, and remember only my best. 
We, the family of Freddie Mae Ivey Vick, want you to know that 
we are indeed grateful to each of you for all acts of kindness 
extended to us and for all prayers uttered for us during our hours 
of bereavement. It is also our prayer that God will richly bless each 
of us.
