Ida Katherine Estes, age 76, passed away Thursday, January 22nd, 2020 at Trouvaille Memory Care Facility in Excelsior, Minnesota. A private bedside service was officiated on site by the facility chaplain. 

Online condolences may be sent to 1941cubsfan@gmail.com. 

The Estes family has chosen to postpone the celebration of life for Ida given the COVID health crisis.  Our intention is to reschedule it.  However, we do not yet know when ... and that saddens us. 

Ida's life deserves to be celebrated now -- not later.  We invite you to do that in the same way that she lived.   

Please reach out to a friend, neighbor, colleague, or stranger and acknowledge them.  Open your heart and mind to the perspectives of others. Stand up for justice and equality.  Perform random acts of kindness. Take care of each other.
