Mom will be greatly missed by her daughters Lynda Erickson of Everett, Jacquelyn (Gary) Knaus of Acme, Arlyn McClung of Arlington, son-in-law Lewis McClung of Marysville, Grandchildren Bryan (Scotti) and their sons Taylor, Travis of Georgia, DeAnna McClung of Marysville, Gary Knaus Jr. and his son Cody of Acme, Shawn (Chandra) and their daughters Jorja, Alexa of Semiahmoo, Tara Knaus and her daughter Kaylee of Acme, Brothers Ingvard Stensen of Tuckwila and Selvin Stensen of Stanwood, and numerous nieces and nephews, as well as her four legged son Freddie.

I have such great memories of time spent with Ida (and we can't think of Ida without thinking of Inga), and both Kari & I of our visit to Washington, not to mention the many phone chats. We had many laughs, she never failed to bring out the smiles. Your family is in our thoughts, she will be missed by all.
