Idabelle Firestone was an American composer and songwriter. She was also a homemaker, and wife of the famous tire-maker and industrial giant, Harvey S. Firestone.
Idabelle left behind an amazing legacy of music and flowers, two of her greatest loves, along with the love she held for her beloved husband, home, and children.
Because of Idabelle Firestone’s well-known love of flowers, David Burpee, an internationally-known plant hybridist of the day, developed the largest and most colorful of all French marigolds and named it the “Idabelle Firestone Marigold.”
