Funeral Service

Invermay Hall, Invermay SK

Ida was born in Leslie, Sask. to William and Frances Aveyard. She grew up in Tuffnell on their family farm. She had a job as a home caretaker to a family of four.
She married David Arnold Jack on March 31, 1956. They took up residence in Invermay in 1960 where they raised their eight children and started family businesses. Her family was her pride and joy.
Ida prided herself in taking care of people, (including Arnold's mother Florence and step-mother Pearl) and raising her children, which lead to the grandchildren frequently staying for fun, games and building puzzles.
Ida loved gardening - especially her fruit trees, strawberries and flowers; she also enjoyed sewing, knitting, bird watching, visiting with family and friends, and vacations to B.C. , and Thunder Bay.
Her faith in Christ carried her throughout her entire life. You could always find her reading her Bible, listening to gospel music or watching her religious shows. One of her life's highlights was meeting David Mainse from 100 Huntley Street.
After Arnold's passing in 2003, she volunteered at the Invermay nursing home, up until she moved to Yorkton in 2009 where she lived with Joy and Kerry. This is when she started going to the Lion's Day Wellness program where she made many more friends. She also was blessed to be among the residents at Fisher Court in 2010, then onto Foam Lake care centres, until she was moved to Yorkton where she spent her last days.
Ida was predeceased by her husband David Arnold; sister Gladys; brother Delbert; brothers-in-law, Earl, Norman, Mervin and Alex; sisters-in-law, Bev and Mary; daughter Florence; son-in-law Howard; and nephew Wayne.
She is lovingly remembered by her children, Carol, David (Faye), Tim (Terri), Fred (Laurie), Earl (Cynthia), Rodney (Janet), and Joy (Kerry); 21 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; sisters, Doris (Jack), Lucille (Stan) and Betty; brother Gary (Sue), and by sisters-in-law, Margaret and Florence.
