Ida had the opportunity to leave the ship in lifeboat no.8, but since only women and children were being allowed into the boats, she chose to stay with her husband rather than leaving him behind. Isidor, despite urgings from other passengers and crew in view of his old age, refused all offers to be allowed to break the 'women and children first' rule. Although Isidor's body was eventually recovered, to my knowledge, Ida was never found. If her body was recovered, it was never identified.
