| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ December 19, 2001, p. A11 Ivan F. Lucky of Wickenburg, died Dec. 4, 2001 at Wickenburg Regional Medical Center. He was 88. Ivan was born Jan. 28, 1913 in Talmage, Neb. He had lived in Arizona for the past 35 years, 15 of them in Wickenburg. He spent several years in the CCC and patrolled beaches in West Palm Beach, Fla. during World War II. He was the last sibling in the family of George and Florida (Polk) Lucky. There were six sisters and five brothers. He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Corine E. Lucky, and one granddaughter, Jaylene Lucky, who resides in Wickenburg. Additional survivors include a grandson and wife, Matt and Delania and one great-granddaughter, Jessica Carter of Scio, Ore.; two sisters-in-law of Okanagan and Seattle, Wash.; and many nieces and nephews. Ivan did not have any children of his own but after he and Corine retired they took on the responsibility of a second family. They inherited two grandkids, Matt, age 3, and Jaylene, age 2, when they moved to Arizona from LaPine, Ore., where they had already built a home that they planned to live, where they could go fishing behind their house on the Little Deschutes River. They were avid hunters and also loved to travel and roam the desert with good buddies Ken and Bud, also Ivan's faithful companion, his dog Littlebit. Services were held Dec. 10 at Frey Funeral home with burial following in the National Memorial Cemetery in Phoenix. |
