She attended The Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Denver, Colorado, graduating in 1939 as a Registered Nurse. She married Ben S. Markham on June 6, 1940, in the Manti LDS Temple. Ben died on December 12, 1959.Ida Mar and Ben were blessed with two children, Dr. Judith Ann (George Holt) of Logan, and Ben Stephen (Julie Cannon) of Oakton, Virginia.
She leaves behind nine grandchildren: Michele Larsen (Kent), New York City; John Holt (Debra), Corpus Christi, Texas; David Markham (Carolyn), Houston, Texas; Samuel Markham, Provo; Jeffrey Markham (Laura), Provo; Daniel Holt, Princeton, New Jersey; Ben Holt, Bloomington, Indiana; Stephen Markham, Provo; and Corinne Markham, Oakton, Virginia.

During the first twenty years of marriage to Ben, Ida Mar filled her life with service as a wife, mother, care giver to extended family and friends, and church worker. After she was widowed, Ida Mar added her nursing career to her roles, working at Payson Hospital, Utah State Hospital, and finally at Utah Valley Hospital as a nursing supervisor until she retired in 1979. She served faithfully in many callings in the LDS Church, including most recently as a Temple Ordinance worker, a Relief Society teacher, and an extraction worker. An avid reader of religion and history, she read the Book of Mormon each month for more than a decade until limited by recent health problems.
Though she is missed by family and friends, we are strengthened by the memory of her example and effort in this life. We rejoice in the knowledge of her reunion with her husband, parents, grandson, sister Louisa and brothers Preston and Sherman who preceded her in death.
