Ida attended St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Troy, IL. She taught 5 th and 6 th grade classes at St. Paul’s Lutheran School in Troy for 22 years. She taught Preschool and was a Day Care Director prior to St. Paul’s. She was an avid reader, a great chef, and enjoyed playing cards with friends. Ida had a gift for making everyone feel at home, whether through her delicious home-cooked meals, her loving presence, or the simple way she listened with an open heart. Ida and Steve enjoyed creating memories on the many cruises and vacations they took together. They were partners for 53 years. Her greatest joy came from being a grandmother to Lucy and Zach, who adored her for her endless patience, her warm hugs, and the countless moments of laughter and joy she brought into their lives.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Glenna (nee Hoenes) Jeffries.
Surviving is her husband Steve Doyle whom she married June 3, 1978; her children, Jacob (Jennifer) Doyle of Glen Carbon, IL and Sarah F.
