Entered
into rest,
Ida was
born in
In the
age where most immigrant children left school by the sixth grade, in
order to
help the family’s finances, Ida persevered, working nights and going to
school
days until she attained her goal, a High school diploma.
In the depressions years of the 1930’s she
invented a new profession, account bookkeeping, whereby she was able to
keep
hard pressed small business men from succumbing under the weight of a
burdensome payroll by going from account to account doing all the
financial
work by the day or the hour, replacing full time held which had became
unaffordable. After a successful career
she retired to “good works”. The family
archives are full of newspaper clippings attesting to the tutoring she
gave
ghetto children, the mentoring she provided as camp grandmother during
summer
vacations. She was an indefatigable fund
raiser for numerous charities and in her late eighties and early
nineties she
conducted humanities seminars for seniors at the local college,
produced and
directed the most popular television show on the college’s local cable
channel
and was the oldest recipients of its Gold Key award, an honor bestowed
on
people who had given extraordinary support to the college family. Through al this she maintained a gorgeous
garden, spread love among her six grandchildren and two great
grandchildren,
one a college student and the other an almost one year old boy, the
pride of
her life, little Benjamin Rafael.
Ida
Cooper has been cremated and will be laid to rest beside her husband in
