Ida/Nona, It’s been an honor and pleasure to have known you and became members of your family. We certainly had great times together and we will miss you. May you rest in peace and that you are in good hands of God.

I am sad to hear of Ida’s passing, she was so kind whenever she visited Kearny Bank. She also had a great laugh! May she rest in peace.
Ida was our good neighbor and friend for many years, she was so kind, caring, and had the brightest smile and laugh! Ida had many stories to share, and had a love of family, friends, her dogs, baking and sharing her delicious bread and treats. Ida was always there for us, and she will be sorely missed, but remembered with great fondness. May Ida rest easy.
