Ida Potash Obituary

April 7, 1932 - February 18, 2021 Ida was a long time resident of Echo Park, an activist, and a super mom to Robin, Arnie and Cory, and anyone else who happened to be at the dining room table. She was a wonderful grandma to her 5 grandchildren Michael, Joshua, Milo, Sho Shawna and Zoe. She was endlessly committed to fighting for social justice and building a better community. Her huge, caring heart made it easy for her to connect with just about everyone, touching the hearts of so many. She will be sorely missed. Her spirit lives on. We love you mom!

I only met Ida three time , but each time I could feel how much energy and interest she had in whatever was being discussed-such positive energy and so caring.
