IDA BEATRICE DONALD

On November 12, 1930 in Humboldt, TN, Ida Beatrice Midgett’s life story began as the
first child, of nine, born to Iran Midgett and Lucille Dennis Midgett.
Ida Beatrice spent most of her formative years in Humboldt where she received her
formal education and was baptized at Faith Temple COGIC at an early age.
On December 17, 1949, Ida Beatrice united in Holy Matrimony, with the love of her life,
Mr. L. C. Donald in Gibson County Mississippi. To this union one daughter, Barbara
Jeanette, was born.
In the early 1950’s, the family relocated to San Diego, CA after being stationed in San
Francisco, CA. Ida Beatrice joined Jackson Memorial COGIC; now Fountain of Life
COGIC, under the tutelage of the late Bishop J. A. Blake, Sr. She was a dedicated
Sunday School and Vacation Bible School Teacher, Secretarial Worker and a member
of the Sanctuary Choir. Ida Beatrice deeply cared about people and devoted her entire
life to serving others. Her passion for helping people extended into the neighborhoods
she lived in, families at her church, daughter’s church, and even to strangers she met
on the streets. Whenever you asked, How are you doing?” Her response would be, “All
is well” with a smile!
“And Time yielded unto Eternity…” On Monday morning at her residence, Ida Beatrice
Donald, departed this earth life. She was preceded in death by her parents, spouse and
six siblings.
Loving memories of Ida Beatrice Donald will forever be cherished by those lives she
indelibly touched, especially her beloved and devoted daughter, Barbara Jeanette
Donald of San Diego, CA; sister, Erby Smith of Humboldt, TN; brother, Charles Lee
(Susan) Brown of Milan, TN and a host of loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends
that will esteem her always.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
