Ida D. Hoston

 Oct. 7, 1922 - May 9, 2010
SOUTH BEND - On Mother's Day, Sunday, May 9, 2010, at 10:35 a.m., into the loving arms of our Dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Ida Daisy "Peaches" Hoston entered into eternal rest. Let this Mother's Day be a declaration in the heavens that Ida Hoston was a phenomenal mother. She nurtured us all with her sweet spirit and her meekness. Therefore, we pause to commemorate her passing from this life to be with her Maker in Heaven. Ida was born in Pulaski, Virginia, on October 7, 1922, to the late James Clarence and Juanita M. (Hogan) Price. She was the fifth child of 11 born to this union. She graduated from Christianburg High School, Christianburg, VA, and accepted Christ at an early age at First Baptist Church of Magazine Street, Pulaski, VA. On July 4, 1942, she was united in holy matrimony to Herman Hoston, who preceded her in passing. To this union she was blessed with three children. In 1947 they moved to South Bend, Indiana. She united with Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church approximately 60 years ago where she served on the Mamie Bingham Missionary Society, in the kitchen, and as a representative for Church Women United. Being an avid bowler, Ida was a member of the Women's Indiana State Bowling Association (WISBA), bowling in the Seeley Ma & Pa's Boot League, the Rollettes, and the Monday Night Women's Classic League. She was inducted into the St. Joe Valley Bowling Hall of Fame and the Indiana State Bowling Hall of Fame. She was also a coach for the Junior Bowling Association, Girl Scout Leader, an Avon Representative, and President's Club Member for over 20 years. She was the last living member of the Peppyettes. She enjoyed sewing, helping others, and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who lovingly called her "Umma." Her loving legacy leaves to cherish her memory, children: Bishop Ronald J. (Jennifer) Hoston of Rochester, NY, E. Dorphine (Vernon) Payne of Kalamazoo, MI, Tracie L. Hoston of South Bend, IN; grandchildren: Linda (Muneer) Mubarak, David Payne, Arthur Payne, William (Amber) Williams III, LaToia Williams, Erike (Kioya) Hoston and R.
