Ida LaVerda Weaver Frost was born in Dingle, Idaho, near Bear Lake on April 20, 1918 to William Jasper and Ada Bird Weaver. She died August 20, 2015 in Nampa, Idaho. She spent her youth with three sisters: Bernice, Bird and Donna and a brother Buddy who died when he was three. Ida (also known as Verda) had a good life with her sisters. They sang harmony together and Verda continued to sing all her life. She sang with the Senior Choir, traveling around to all the Senior Centers.
As a teenager Verda was sent to Nampa to help her Aunt Thelma White take care of her baby and to clean her home for $1.50 a month. Her uncle Ed Bird, from Bowmont, near Melba, hired her away from his sister for $2.50 a month to take care of his ailing wife and to work on the farm.
While living in Bowmont she met and married Harold Wiley Frost on March 24, 1936. They lived in the Boise Valley all their married life. Ida and Harold lived in Eagle, Nampa and Dixie, across the river from Notus, where they were successful at farming and operating a dairy.
They raised three sons: DeWayne, Lynn and Dean and one daughter, Karen. Ida enjoyed her family very much and especially their camping trips to Alturas. She was a great cook, gardener and also had the talent of woodworking. She taught herself to paint and became a talented artist.
Harold and Ida sold their farm in 1986 and moved to Nampa, not far from where they had their first home together. Her husband died Oct. 10, 1991. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She followed the teachings of Jesus by being charitable and loving to everyone. Her heart was broken when she lost her two sons and daughter and also her sisters and brother. She was the last of her siblings. She has been able to stay in her home and has lovingly been taken care of by her son Dean. She enjoyed going to the Senior Center and seeing her friends every day and also her friends from church.
She leaves behind her son Dean; a daughter-in-law Delores Jamison; a son-in-law Howard Burwell; six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews who loved her as their own.
Funeral services will be held 11 a.m. Friday, August 28, 2015 at Zeyer Funeral Chapel, 83 N. Midland Blvd. Nampa, 467-7300. A viewing will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. prior to the services. Burial will be at Kohlerlawn Cemetery, 76 6th St. North in Nampa. Condolences and memories may be shared at zeyerfuneralchapel.com
The family would like to give a special thanks to Family Life Memory Care for the excellent attention given to Ida and her family during her last couple of years.
