Ida always wanted to become a teacher and didn't hesitate to tell you to get an education because you will need it one day. Ida showed the importance of hard work to her children. She picked cotton, chopped cotton, dug wild onions, cut spinach, picked strawberries, churned milk, cut wood, pick black berries and made sure everyone in the community got some even if it meant going out twice in one day. Ida worked closely with the 4-H Club, BTU and the Home Mission Society. Ida would pull off her shoe and kill a snake. She loved to cook, raise her children and grandchildren.
