Rugenstein; her children, Dominic and Donna Saragusa, Connie and Frank Jiabia, Mark and Bing Rugenstein; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and her sisters, Mary Vazzano Hannan and Clara Vazzano Stegmaier (David).

Ida was a great cook and a terrific seamstress. She was a World Volunteer for IESC and enjoyed traveling the world.

Today was lost our wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister. She was an amazing woman. She had a zeal for life and we will never forget the stories she told about the people she met and the places she had seen while traveling all over the world with her husband. Her infectious laugh and vibrant smile will be remembered forever. We will love her always.

Ida was cremated according to her wishes. No services are scheduled at this time.
