She was a Registered Nurse for Eastern State Hospital in Vinita, Oklahoma for 20 years before retiring in the mid-1990's. Iva enjoyed growing flowers, vegetables, and raising animals, so it was only fitting that during her working years, she and her husband also ran a farm in Oklahoma. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, and she loved her children, grandchildren and her great granddaughter, as well as her puppy dogs, Oscar and Dora. She was preceded in death by her husband of 34 years, Orley Lawson when he died last December, her daughter, Sherri Ward when she died in 2008, her brother Chuck McElhaney, her twin sister, Eva Holmes; and her previous husband, and love of her life, William Fraizer, with whom she will be laid to rest on Thursday. Survivors include her son, Harley Cromwell & wife Liz of Vinita, Oklahoma; her daughter, Janice Cromwell of Tulsa, Oklahoma; 2 granddaughters, Lindsey Haas and husband Danny of Edwardsville, Kansas, and Sevy Mauer of Ohio; 2 grandsons, Glen Mauer of Ohio,and Jason Pedum of Oklahoma; her great granddaughter, Emma Haas, and her sister Shirley June.
