Iva May Kingsbury was born January 5, 1952 in Hillsboro, Oregon to the late Neal S. and Almyra Jean (Kent) Hammond.

Together, they raised two children and were later divorced. Iva began working for the Farmers Insurance Company in 1971. She advanced in her career with the company to serve as a underwriting analyst. She retired early in 2000 due to the health challenges she was facing with Muscular Dystrophy. Among her personal interests, were stamping, computer games, visiting friends, and playing with her grandchildren. She enjoyed working on her stamping projects and made many cards and decorated letters that she gave to family and friends. Iva loved to play games on the computer and she had lots of visitors. She loved to visit with her grandchildren, playing games, watching movies and just having fun. She always found the strength and courage to get out to see the grandchildren participate in school and sports activities. They fondly referred to Iva as "Grama Punkin". Survivors include her son and daughter in law, Matthew and Carrie Kingsbury of Hillsboro; daughter and son in law, Lori Ann and Jeff Richardson of Tacoma, Washington; brother and sister in law, John and Jean Hammond of Banks, Oregon; and sister and brother in law; Donna L. and Skip Skipper of Hillsboro. Also surviving are seven grandchildren: Abby, Katie, Maddy, and Grant Richardson; and Natalie, James, and Caden Kingsbury, as well as another grandchild on the way. The family suggests that remembrances may be contributions made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, 4800 SW Macadam Avenue, # 205, Portland, Oregon 97005, in Iva's Memory.
