She is predeceased by her husband Louis of 58 years and son David.

Isabella was a very giving person, always helping those in need. She played organ and sang at church

(St. Mary’s, Ladysmith and St. Peters, Nanaimo) for many years. She was a volunteer of the 7-10 club, recipient of Volunteer of the Year 1994 and Nanaimo Citizen of the Year of 2005.
