  1. I am still at loss of words at the passing of Ida.. She was my mamas room mate for several months as mom recovered from a broken leg. My Mom would like to sleep with her legs out of the covers –and Ida would get up and always cover my Mom’s legs !!. Bless her heart !! We talked about her early years ..her children and grandchildren and we would chat on the phone from time to time. She use to call me her “ICE FAIRY”..as I would take her ICE from SONIC so she “LOVED” to eat. Sometimes she wasn’t in her room and I would leave it in her cooler. Days before my mommies passing my sister, and I would spent nights with my mom and Ida. She participated in the praying , singing , and the reading of BIBLE Scriptures for my mama as she transitioned from this world to ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN” . Ida comforted us during this difficult time in our lives and I will never forget her Love for people !! My family was truly Blessed to of known such a Wonderful Woman of God !! May she Rest in Peace ! LOVE YOU IDA !!

  2. We were so sad to here of Ida’s passing. We had a nice conversation with her at Christmas. She was truly a blessing to all who met her and knew her.
    Although we only knew Ida from the time that our mother was also at the Villa, she became like a part of our family. She and mom shared many laughs and memories into the wee hours of the night. They were best friends and adored each other. We pray that she is resting in eternal peace.

  3. I was so sorry to hear of Ida”s passing. She was a lovely person. My mother in law was lucky to be roommates with Ida at the Villa and our entire family soon grew to love and appreciate her. The way she cared and advocated for everyone else around her, along with her great smile and attitude truly showed how special she was. I regret that I hadn’t been to see Ida for quite some time, I hope her last days were easy. Thank you all for sharing this beautiful woman, she made this world a more wonderful place.
