Ida Linder

IDA LINDER We lost a treasure today. Ida Linder passed away at the age of 102 years old on July 19th. Ida was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the year 1910. She was the last of her eight siblings to pass. Her childhood in New York revolved heavily around her family. They were her main friends. One day, she looked out the window she saw this red haired boy driving a sports car real fast by her house, she smiled. A little while later at the age of 18, she married Carl Linder. She adored him, with his red hair and operatic voice. They had three children, Michael, David and Barbara. Ida loved being a housewife who prided in her cleaning, culinary and maternal skills. She was also very good at giving wise advice to her loved ones. When Carl unexpectedly died of a heart attack, Michael, her son promised to take care of his mother. In 1968, he married Rita Raphael and the three of them lived together in upstate New York. Soon after, Julia and Carl were born. Growing up we were always together as a family. We moved to California were Ida helped work in the family Jewelry store and was always there for us. In 1990, we moved to Santa Fe and Ida moved as well.
