Isabell enjoyed spending time with her family, watching her grandchildren and great-grandchilden grow up, visiting with family under the shade of the trees in her yard, and going for walks. She enjoyed wild flowers - especially wild brown-eyed susans, spending time with her cat, Hemi, and listening to chipping sparrows - her favorite bird. Isabell lived a simple life and did not believe in collecting material things.
Isabell was a devoted wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a wonderful, caring woman, and will be greatly missed by everyone who had the opportunity to meet her.
