I remember Ida was always happy to come to our annual pig roast. John and I always looked forward to her potato salad which was the best ever. She and her family would always sit down the end of the yard and look over the field and trees and said she felt like she was in the country. I also worked with Ida at Canon and she was always very helpful when I needed it. What a smart and cheerful woman. She will be missed. Rest in peace Ida.
Peace be with All. 😥
Ida is and will always be one of my Besties🤎now in spirit.
She was an awesome friend and Co-worker. Never to be forgotten 🙌🏾
No more pain. She has the best smile and loved her girls
and me too. 🙏🏾I hope to see her again🫶🏾🙌🏾🌹
Although I met Ida later in her life I feel truly Blest to have known Ida. Ida, was a totally devoted Mom and a loving Grandmother. To have witnessed last days on her journey home to God was to experience a woman deeply connected to Faith, Grace and Trust in her God.
Ida, truly is a Good and Faithful Servant.
God’s Blessings as you mourn this beautiful soul and as you celebrate the newest member of the Community of Saints.
In God’s Love,
Helen Daly
