Richard, I loved knowing Idabelle. She had a big heart that she opened to Jesus. My mom and dad always talked so highly of her and loved her also. I see a woman named Faye has signed the guest book and mom says she would be her cousin. Mom didn’t get to be around her side of the family so she treasures all of the communication she can get so stay in touch. She will love it. My sympathies also to Jodi and family. I remember meeting them in Mesa for that reunion. I hope you will visit us in Michigan if you are ever in this neck of the woods. We don’t have a Golden Coral but we can come up with some good food anyways. That is what my kids remember about coming to Helena. I’m so glad that we were coming through on the day that you came in to visit your mom. It was one of the highlights of my trip out west. Be Blessed Sharon

Richard, I am so sorry for your loss. The 6th ward has lost another long time resident. I knew Idabelle growing up but we became friends when we both worked at Hillbrook. She worked harder than the young kids we worked with. My daughter Terry worked with her also.
Doreen Idabelle and I went to lunch many times when Doreen came to town.
She will be missed.
Bev and Terry
Bev Hill says
My husband Cecil and I got to know IdaBelle at First Assembly and even before that Cecil knew her through his job at the schools. I got to know her even better as we helped her with her home on a few occasions. We both knew her as a sweet, caring, compassionate, lovely woman.
We are both better people from knowing someone like her. She will be sorely missed by many.
Faye Abrahamson says
I was sorry to here about your loss. I have planned for years to get back to see her but time got away. Idabelle was married to my cousin. Elsie & Bill Reichert were my aunt & uncle. Elsie was my Dad’s sister.I only met Idabelle once years ago but I always remembered her as a very gracious lady. With sympathy Faye
Darlene Shook says
We were saddened to learn of Idabelle’s death. We have wonderful memories of her working at the grocery store–she always had such a pleasant smile for us and would visit as her work time permitted. She had a sweet gentle spirit and we know how much you will miss her.
