Ida Mary Tyler
October 18, 1925 – April 26, 2020
Ida Mary Tyler, 94, of Capitol Heights, MD, beloved wife, mother and Mema, passed away on April 26, 2020 with loving memories by family members. Ida married and focused on her greatest passion of being a wife, mother, and grandmother. Ida enjoyed in her spare time, gardening, shopping for and collecting antiques. She had many hobbies and enjoyed crocheting and traveling with her children. Ida was also an active member of the Veterans of Foreign War VFW. She was an optimist who always saw the good in people. She was a mom to many, a wonderful friend and a giving, caring, selfless woman. She lived for her family, and was the best mother, grandmother, great and great-great grandmother. She was there to comfort and make you smile. Today, Melvin welcomed home his loving wife, and our family lost a bit of our heart. You are so loved and will be missed. You left a lasting mark on this world and in our lives. Rest in paradise, beautiful lady.
Ida was preceded in death by her devoted husband of 64 years Melvin A. Tyler, her daughter Virginia L. Jewell, and her brother Frank T. Vendemia. She is survived by her daughters Marion T. Thomas and husband Joseph Thomas of Berlin, MD, Beverly A. Halton and husband John F. Halton of Dunkirk, MD, son-in-law William Jewell of Golden, CO, and a brother John F. Vendemia of Cheverly, MD. She is also survived by 8 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 23 great-great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers of expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis TN 38105-1942.

My sisters and brother and I have wonderful memories of the crab feasts and pizza parties Ida and Mel would throw in their backyard during the summer. My Mom and Ida were very close and would sit in the evening on our front porch and chat. This just breaks my heart but I will rejoice that Ida and Mel are back together. My heartfelt sympathies to Bev and Marion and their families.

MeMa I miss you , I remember the days we all went out to catch butterflies so you could make your little pictures. I remember and was so thankful for you making my first boxing robe. I still have the robe and think of you every time I look at it. You have been such an inspiration in my life, more than you will ever know and I will never forget you. I’m so glad you are free, have your beautiful hair back and are standing tall! I love you! ❤️
Love your grandson

My Mema,
I am so blessed to have had both sets of great-grandparents my entire childhood. Even more blessed that my children had the opportunity to have their great-great grandmother for a moment in their lives. Mema, so many memories of my childhood are shared in your home. I will cherish those always. I know grandma will continue to share your love and stories with me, as she always does. I love you! Praying for comfort and peace, as in these days we must deal with grief as sorrow so differently. I know Mema had a long, beautiful, 94 years, here on earth. I know she is spending eternity in her glorified body with our King. In that knowledge I rejoice.
Until we meet again.
Love to you all,
Melissa

Mema was a strong woman and was loved by many. One story that comes to mind is one Christmas she got into the rumballs my mom made and I’m sure they made her feel a little tipsy because all she could do was laugh when we told her what was in it. I think I bring up this story every year because it continues to bring a smile to my face. She will be forever missed, but she is in peace now and I’m sure will be keeping all of us safe. <3
