      It is with profound love and gratitude that we honor the life of Ida Elizabeth Storr Cash, a cherished daughter, devoted wife, loving mother, and beloved friend who passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Born on February 12, 1931, in Miami, Florida, Ida lived a life marked by grace, strength, and unwavering faith. Ida’s spiritual journey began early, nurtured by her family’s church, A.M. Cohen Temple Church of God in Christ, where she flourished under the leadership of the late Bishop A.M. Cohen.
