Ivy May Raphael Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Ivy May Raphael of Ludlow, Massachusetts, born in Anchorage, Alaska, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on August 29, 2025 at the age of 27. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Ivy farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Ivy is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She is survived by: her parents, Karen V. Pheasant of Ludlow and Terry Pheasant; her parent-in-law Leslie of Wasilla, AK; and her siblings, Gerald "Sean" Bourdeau of Palmer, Michelle C. Runshaw (David) of Belchertown, Christopher J. Bourdeau (Alicia) of Ludlow, Michael Raphael of Ashland, WI, Katie Hanson of Anchorage, AK, Cecilia "Cici" Ganger of Palm Coast, FL and Alexander Warney of Fort Wayne, IN. She is also survived by nephews, nieces, cousins, numerous friends.
