Isabelle was a member of the Wesley United Methodist Church in Bradley, Illinois and when living in Norwich was employed by the Champion Mills Company as an Inspector. Isabelle loved her family and as a homemaker was successful in making their house a home. She was an excellent seamstress, loved to cook and embraced the holidays deeply rooted in a spirit of tradition and hospitality. She looked forward to opening her home to all her family and many friends and to preparing traditional holiday dishes for all to enjoy - she loved to entertain. She enjoyed traveling and camping and especially spending time at the "Lakehouse" nestled on the banks of Lake Gary in New York. Memories created with family and friends are abundant and will be lovingly treasured. Isabelle's family requests that memorial gifts in her honor be made to the Charleston Public Library.
