Iva M. Rowland of Warrenton, MO, passed away at the age of 91 on Tuesday, August 20, 2019. She was preceded in death by her husband, John Rowland; her parents, Byrdie and Arrie Mae Casey; her siblings, Pauline Pollard, Maxine Moore, Syble Emerson, James Casey, and Lester Casey; and her grandson, Justin Rowland.
Iva is survived by her children, Nancy (Gary) Pettig and Rick (Lisa Holtmeyer) Rowland; her grandchildren, Casey (Alexander) Lafferty, Bradley Pettig, Tess Holtmeyer, Gabriel Holtmeyer, Christopher (Rachael) Rowland, Hannah Rowland, and Brianna Rowland; her great-grandchildren, Tristen, Kirkland, and Ivary; and her sisters, Ahmalee Barks and Norma (Lloyd) Mondy.
Iva was a woman of strong and profound faith with a deep love for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who she worshipped through singing with the Precious Memories Christian Group. She taught at school and then went on to work at Boeing where she later retired after a successful, thirty-year career. The St. Louis Cardinals had her constant support and she also enjoyed crocheting or doing crossword puzzles. Iva had a sweet tooth as well and loved her Snickers bars and vanilla ice cream. Above everything, Iva loved to spend time with her family – especially her grandchildren. She will be dearly missed.
