Ida May Pemberton, passed on from this world and went to walk with Jesus on May 15, 2024. She was 84 years young. 

Ida was born to Harry and Ina Townsend. She had four brothers and three sisters.

Royce and Ida moved from Washington to Troy, Montana in September 1998. Ida loved to spend time helping Royce in his shop. She enjoyed traveling, reading her favorite books, gardening and helping people in need. She loved to hunt antelope.

She taught herself to paint beautiful pictures, thanks to Bob Ross. She loved spending time with friends and loved her family more than anything. She will be greatly missed, but we will always carry her memory in our hearts. 

We love you Ida May and thank God for the gift of your love.
