Siblings: James Robert and Charlotte Ann

Ida was attending a Bernie Sanders rally and collapsed. She was taken to Eisenhower in Rancho Mirage where she was pronounced deceased.

She was a professional artist and taught at College of the Desert where she was an Adjunct Art Instructor since 1999. She was a respected, integral member of the Department. She taught screen printing, printmaking and a variety of Art History courses over the last 20 years.

As a professional artist, she was a prolific painter in encaustic painting—a historical paint medium using pigmented wax. Ida was also known for her screen printing. Her work has been exhibited in many galleries and has appeared in several publications throughout the years. Ida brought out the best in her students as well as her fellow colleagues, and she will be greatly missed.

She and her husband were active in her local community in Joshua Tree since the mid-1980s. They were integrally involved in the efforts to protect the desert from threats including the massive Eagle Mountain mega-dump that was being planned.

Her father was a decorated tank commander under General Patton. He served as a diplomat post-war Japan where Ida was born.
