Ida was a member of Family Worship Center PCG in Mountain View, Missouri. She was very active in the church and she loved to sing in the choir. She enjoyed bird watching. She was very feisty and liked to joke around and have fun.
She loved everyone and always had a way to make everyone feel loved. If you didn’t want her to tell you how she felt, you didn’t ask her. She was a loving companion to Danny, always making sure he was taken care of. You never saw one without the other. Ida always made sure her family knew that she loved them in her own way.
Although Ida is no longer with us physically, her spirit will forever remain a beacon of love and inspiration. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. May her loved ones find comfort in the cherished memories they hold dear.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, December 16, 2024, at Family Worship Center PCG, Mountain View, Missouri, with Pastor George Smith officiating under the direction of Yarber Mortuary, Mountain View. Visitation will be held prior to the service from 1-2:00 p.m. also at the church. Memorial contributions may be made to the family. Condolences may be expressed at www.yarbermortuary.com
