She loved to sing, and sang with the Mount Hope Youth Choir and The Union Chorus. Later, Ida joined Zion Baptist Church in Hilltop, Maryland, where she continued to sing with the Zion Choir until her health began to fail.

In 1960, Ida married the late James "Big Boy" Warren Jr. from which she was blessed with three loving and adoring children.
