Ida J. Sands
2026-07-18

            Ida J. (Hagen) Sands, formerly of Pennsburg, passed away peacefully on July 14, 2026 at LifeQuest in Quakertown at the age of 91. She was the beloved wife of the late Harold R. "Chick" Sands Sr., who passed away in 2009 after 56 years of marriage.

            Ida was an organized collector. She loved thrifting to find bargains in clothing and jewelry among her collections. Her love of sewing additionally led to other forms of crafting. Ida loved gardening, flower arranging and meticulously decorating her home for each season.
