Idy Garvis Obituary (1945 - 2021) - Minnetonka, Minnesota

Idy (Klein) Garvis, passed away peacefully at her home on December 10th, with her husband Allan Garvis at her side. With seventy-five years spent in this world, Idy left a wonderful imprint on her many friends and family members with her wit, humor and a presence that always was infused with warmth and compassion. Her many years spent as a paralegal allowed her to exercise her intelligence and the many volunteer assignments that she undertook was a consistent source of joy as she helped others on their way. Preceded in death by her beloved brother Jeff, and her parents, Herb and Ruth Klein. Idy is survived by her husband Allan, her nephew Aaron, her step-son and daughter-in-law Nate and Trissa Garvis and their daughters Ivy and Violet, as well as her many close cousins and friends. The family wish to thank our wonderful care takers, Jane Schwartzman, Kathy Okyere and Sandra Boampong as well as the hospice team from Allina Health.
