She lived and loved everyone without condition. Her beauty radiated from her soul, her smile, and from her words of kindness. Ikey enjoyed spending quality time with her family in Florida, Traverse City, Mackinac Island, and winning big at the casinos. Whenever Ikey spent time with her grandchildren she would remind them of how proud she was and how much she loved them. She always introduced her grandchildren as her beauties and her movie stars.
