Ida was born on October 22, 1939 and passed away on Thursday, April 12, 2018. Ida was a resident of East Montpelier, Vermont at the time of passing. A force of nature, she was sometimes misunderstood, but always had the best intentions. She had attended 16 schools before graduating in 1957 from the Blue Ridge (Episcopal) School for mountain kids from broken or stressed families in St. George, Virginia. In lieu of flowers, donations should be sent to the charity close to her heart, the Food Shelf at Christ Church, 64 State St., Montpelier, VT 05602, with the memo notation "Full Ladle Soup Kitchen.
Mrs. Lange was a wonderful Lady & her husband, Willem, was my excellent teacher & Outing Club guide & director when I was a young lad in Willsboro, New York. Mrs. Lange will be remembered in all my humble prayers. -Father Alfred H. Fish.

I did not know her, but felt very inspired reading her obituary. She seemed like a rock of strength. Much credit is due for having made it, despite such adversity, and for telling the real story of her life in the newspaper. I hope others facing similar challenges will see that a better future is possible, and that there are good people out there who can be a positive influence along the way. I am grateful for the reminder that we really can make a difference in someone else's life, even...

Ida was a very sweet lady and willing to help everyone.
She will sorely be missed by all who knew her.
She is with the angles and she will look after her family from above.
