IVERSON (Ivy) Jane Steel’s 10-year journey came to a sad conclusion on Saturday night as she passed away surrounded by loved ones.

Despite being just 10 years old, Ivy grabbed the attention of an entire community who rallied behind her as she battled acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with Philadelphia chromosome. Her days saw her spend a lot of time at the Royal Children’s Hospital going through several procedures and being hooked up to machines, but it didn’t deter the person she was.
