Ida Marie Madison was born on January 12, 1918 to Henry and Anna Marie Madison in Wadena, MN. She attended rural school in Wadena County grades 1-8. She was one of five children raised on a family farm near Sebeka. Later the family moved north of Alberta. There she met Floyd Lawson and they were united in marriage at her parent's home on March 12, 1937. The couple moved to Wisconsin for two years then returned to Stevens County south of Alberta in 1939, where they purchased their farm. They made their home there until 2001, when they moved to a townhome in Morris. In 2011, Ida moved to Spring Creek Assisted Living Center in Meridian, Idaho to be near some of her children.
Ida was an active member of the Alberta Church of the Nazarene. She was a hardworking farmwife, mother of eight children, who had a large garden every summer with vegetables and lots of flowers. Her hobbies included crocheting, quilting, sewing, painting, crafting, reading and playing card games.
