What started as a granddaughter’s way of capturing memories quickly turned into a global movement of love, laughter, and legacy. Ms. Ida Mae, the 84-year-old grandma with no filter and endless wisdom, became the internet’s favorite elder almost overnight. Thanks to her unshakable spirit, hilarious one-liners, and the viral quote heard ‘round the world: “Ion fck with broke men, I break out in hives.”

Since then, Grandma Ida has inspired millions with her bold personality, authentic charm, and unfiltered takes on life — all while navigating her journey with dementia. What many don’t see behind the jokes is her role as an unexpected advocate: showing that dementia doesn’t erase value, voice, or vibrance. Her content has become a lifeline for families walking similar paths, reminding them that even in memory loss, there’s still room for joy, dignity, and deep connection.

Every post is a reminder that age doesn’t dull the shine — if anything, it sharpens it. Thank you for welcoming her and our crazy family into your hearts.
