This memorial website was created in memory of Ivory McCuen, 30 years old, born on March 13, 1990, and passed away on January 24, 2021. We support all who loved Ivory and will always remember her.
This site was created by me, David W. Oaks, with the permission of Ivory's sister, Breezy Smith. Please add your memories.
I never got a chance to meet the amazing Ivory. I heard about her life via an article in
Eugene Weekly which described the tragedy of her death. Here is a link to that article:
www.eugeneweekly.com/2021/02/11/ivory-irene-mccuen-1990-2021/As the article notes, the family memorial for Ivory will be this Saturday, which would be Ivory's 31st birthday: 13 March 2021.
After talking with Breezy, I am working with a number of grassroots advocacy groups to have a Virtual Vigil to get out the important story of Ivory, Sunday, 18 April 2021 at 5 pm PT. Watch this site for more information.
Those interested in learning more can also email to us at

I extend my deepest heartfelt support for family and friends who mourn this spectacular human being.
