Ida’s heart was to serve God by serving others unconditionally. She was heavily involved raising her family and devoting countless hours to youth programs at church. Ida’s faith radiated her life; she constantly poured into the lives of others. She loved to travel with family and friends; the ocean was among her favorites.
