Ivy Bloomfield Obituary

Ivy Anastasia Bloomfield, loving wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away at age 89, on Friday, September 8th, 2023, in Coppell, Texas. Ivy, daughter of Ivy Magdalene Moody and James Alexander Linton Thomas, was born on October 1st, 1933, in Kingston, Jamaica. She is survived by her sons Raymond, Christopher (Wendy), Mark, and Nigel, and grandchildren Elaina, Matthew, and Colin. She was preceded in death by her infant son Robert, her husband Aston, brothers Linton, Keith, and sisters, Joyce, Myrtle, and Elaine. Ivy graduated from nursing school in London, England, where she earned her nursing degree. She later went on to fulfill her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse. She received numerous nursing awards, and practiced her profession with dedication and love. Aston and Ivy met while attending university in London. After completing their education, they married and returned to Jamaica. After returning to Jamaica, Ivy became an avid homemaker, putting her nursing career on hold, and devoting herself to the growth and education of her four sons. Ivy, like her husband, had a deep appreciation for art, and enjoyed collecting paintings and sculptures from renowned Jamaican artists. She also enjoyed cooking, fishing, and loved travelling abroad. After moving to Toronto, Canada, in 1978, she resumed her nursing career at St. John's Hospital in North York. Migrating to the United States in the early 80's, she settled in Dallas, Texas, working at St. Paul Hospital. She eventually transferred to Presbyterian Hospital Plano, where she concluded her nursing career. In retirement, Ivy enjoyed spending time with family and friends. As notable as her many professional achievements were, they pale in comparison to her love and devotion to her husband, children and grandchildren! She is remembered as a loving and supportive wife and mother, who always put her family first. Ivy will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
