"Lil Sister" as we called you, we will always remember the Sundays that we spent at Old Redeemer together, our Gospel choir with Lucille Brown, Helen Johnson, Beverly Ross, Jamiammie Wiggins, Queen Wiggins, myself,  etc..  How you made Dad laugh when you came to our home.  Mr Man Ross & Mrs Audrey welcomed you at the Gate I Know!!!!   Cousin  Ferman White, we will forever keep Cousin Ruth & Cousin Wesley White Family in our Prayers. Forever missed by Lavinia, Jestine, Kim and Jamiammie Wiggins

Oh Ida, I will cherish the many laughs that we have shared. I will miss giving you peppermints for your desk, and sharing family stories and memories. You were my fellow Soror of the Divine Nine and a cherished LHH colleague.  You gave me advice when I needed it and cared for my wellbeing. My deepest and most sincere condolences to Family Ross-White.  May the Lord bless you and keep you during your time of sorrow. Know that Ida is no longer suffering and is in the loving arms of our Father God watching over you.

Although I only knew Ida for a few years I will always remember and cherish her friendship.
 Ida's smile was as warm and big as her heart and she would cheer up even the darkest days.

She fought a long, hard battle until God called her home. My deepest sympathy to the family.

One of the brightest smiles to be had and the kindest colleagues one might ever know.

I will forever remember our chats... whether it be in hallways/elevators of Lenox Hill Hospital or at after hours Cytopathology conferences in the Hearth Room.

You carried yourself with character and grace and you  lit up every  room effortlessly.

You will be missed, Ida. ❤️




Ida was a great co-worker at Lenox Hill Hospital. She always was very helpful and always had a smile. My heart broke when she became ill and I knew she would fight her hardest to get through it. I know she is no longer in pain and she is resting in Gods loving arms. 🙏🏻 I send my deepest sympathy to her loving family. She will always be remembered. 💔

To My Precious Family Ross/ White ;  Lord please continue to put your protective arms around them during this time of the  loss of a dear cousin & My * Soror [ now an Ivy beyond the wall ] ****Little Sister*****.  May you God continue to he a source of Comfort.  Love you  ALL
