Ivan L. Petersen
Ivan Lee, son of Lawrence and Anna (Porsch) Petersen, was born August 28, 1939, at Gray, Iowa. He attended country school near his home and Audubon High School.

On April 20, 1960, Ivan was united in marriage with JoAnn Lehrter at St. Lawrence Church in Carroll. Two children were born to this union. Ivan and JoAnn made their home in Audubon and the surrounding area before settling in Manning in 1971. Ivan was a truck driver and drove for numerous trucking companies. In 1977 Ivan joined Crouse Cartage Company and drove with them for the next 22 years until his retirement in 1999.

Ivan was a life-long member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and a member of Zion Lutheran Church in Manning since 1971 where he served as deacon. He enjoyed driving truck, spending time with his grandchildren and walking in the beauty of nature.

On Sunday, November 16, 2003, Ivan died at Manning Regional Healthcare Center in Manning, Iowa, following a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 64 years, 2 months, and 19 days of age.

Preceding Ivan in death are his parents.
