She was educated at the Macedonia School in Hampton County, and for her first job she worked as a cook at the school. Ida also worked the farms and many households in the Brunson area, and later she was employed at Allen Elementary School as a cook and then as housekeeper in various homes and at a local business; and
Whereas, at an early age, she was united in holy matrimony to John C. Forester and reared three of her own children, Herman, Willie, and Julia, as well as two nephews and a niece, Elijah, Berness, and Ida Mae; and
Whereas, these children have blessed her with ten grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren, and twenty-four great-great-grandchildren; and
Whereas, affectionately called "Momma Ida" by many, Mrs. Forester is a longtime member of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, where she has been active in many church auxiliaries. She is a deaconess and the Mother of the Church. In addition, she has been a member of the Order of the Eastern Star for sixty-six years; and
Whereas, to honor her on her centennial birthday, family and friends will join together in a celebratory event to be held April 10, 2010, at Antioch Lodge in Varnville; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives is proud to honor this truly lovely lady at the celebration of her one hundredth birthday and joins with her legion of friends and well-wishers to congratulate her on reaching this extraordinary milestone. Now, therefore,
