Ida was born on March 3, 1930 in Ashtabula, Ohio the daughter of Roosevelt and Dorthy (Underwood) Rush.

A woman of unwavering faith, Ida was a longtime and faithful member of First Azusa Apostolic Faith Church of God, where she served with grace and dignity on the Church Mother Board and was a current member of New Hope Church of God in Christ (COGIC). Her deep-rooted spirituality was a guiding light not only for her family but for all who knew her.

Ida dedicated her early years to shaping young minds as a volunteer at Head Start. She also served as a Den Mother, offering mentorship, care, and encouragement to many. Her hands were rarely still, she loved canning, ceramics, quilting, and cooking. A natural nurturer, Ida found joy and peace in her garden, spending countless hours tending to her flowers and yard.
