I only knew Ida for about a year because my grandmother used to live in the same assisted living facility as Ida did, but I am very saddened to hear about her passing. I really enjoyed having conversations with her and her company. She was a kind, loving, and smart lady. May she rest in peace.

I met Ida during my time living at Webster Green. She was like the mayor of the north building! She was such a bright light in this world. I always looked forward to chatting with her or seeing her smile when I dropped off some homemade cookies! What an incredible example of a life well lived. May her memory be the most beautiful blessing.

Ida was a dear friend and neighbor here at Webster Green. Always had a smile on her face and laughing. Such a pleasure to be with, she brightened up every room. For several years she was my right hand as Treasurer of the Webster Green Residents Assoc. Always dancing at our Holiday Parties. She is in a better place now and well deserved. Sue
