June 15, 1919 — April 30, 2012
Ida DeVirgle Averette was born June 15, 1919 in Talladega County, Alabama and grew up in Sylacauga, Alabama.
Ida was united in Holy Matrimony to the late Manuel Player. To this Union one son, George Allen Player was born.

Ida has a special place in her heart for people. Never meeting a stranger and always expressed what was on her mind. She enjoyed cooking and loved sharing her culinary expertise with others. While being an avid gardener she delighted in the fine art of wine making.
