As a dedicated Catholic, Ida was an active member of the KC Auxiliary and Catholic Daughters and found solace in her faith through her involvement in the church. Her warm smile and compassionate heart touched the lives of all who knew her. She had a passion for shopping, she loved to travel, and cherished every moment spent with her family.
She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. In the face of this profound loss, the memory of Ida's presence and kindness will continue to live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. May she rest in peace and may her legacy of love and compassion endure forever.
The family would like to thank the staff at Terrebonne General Health Systems and Haydel Family Practice for their compassion and care.
