Wally, a sad time indeed.  Isabel was such a lovely  person and a most generous gift to our Texas culture. I know how much you will miss her.  All best wishes to you and your family and to Nancy and Maconda.   Mary Lib    Thornhill

I am so sorry that I was unable to attend the services today. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family. She was truly a remarkable person and will be missed. Gary and Patti Brooks

My deepest sympathies to you and your family Mr. Wilson. I will always cherish the fond memories of you all both and the deepest respect you all had for me and my family growing up as a young boy out on the ranch. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Isabel Wilson's generosity and concern for the arts in Texas extended far beyond Houston. Members of the Board of the Chinati Foundation, in Marfa, are among those who have and will continue to esteem the role this great lady has played in the cultural life of our state. She will be sorely missed and warmly remembered. -- William Jordan, Dallas

After working for Mrs. Wilson's father for many years, I finally had the pleasure of meeting her at a Fine Arts Museum dinner a few months ago. She was an awesome lady, and the Fine Arts Museum will miss her sorely. Mr. Wilson, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

The League of Women Voters of the Houston Area records with sadness the death of longtime member Isabel Brown Wilson.  

Her colleagues will keep happy memories their time together; her lifetime of good citizenship will continue to inspire us all.

We extend our sympathy in this time of sorrow and hope that you will find comfort in recollections of a life well lived.

Tuesday 27 March, Houston lost a valued native daughter who championed its culture and spirit. Isabel Wilson will be long-remembered for her savvy, her humanity and indescribable character and dignity. My family and I send our sincere wishes for comfort and acceptance to her husband and partner Wally, her children, sisters Maconda and Nancy, her extended family and all who had the good fortune to befriend this lovely lady. It is difficult to imagine my native city without Isabel Brown Wilson to embellish it. Sad day, indeed.

You have my deepest sympathies Mr. Wilson and Will. I remember going over to her office a few times to help them with their computers.

Dear Wally, I am just so terribly sad and want to  say to you how much I am thinking of you and all of Isabel's family. I send my love  to all of you. As you know, Michael and I loved Isabel. Adored her and admired her. Please know I send my very deepest sympathy to you. Much love, Nina Zilkha

Only a month ago, Isabel was in her element--riding on the front of a hunting car pointing out birds, badgers, and butterflies. What a wonderful day we had in the field. This is a sad time for those of us at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute. She was a great friend of the Institute and we will miss her dearly.

Mr.Wilson- Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God bless and give you support during this difficult period.
Jimmy and Karen Williamson

May the bereaved family and friends continue to receive the needed comfort and strength. May you cherish the memories and Special times of your loved one.

Mr. Wilson- our thoughts and prayers are with you during these times. As we enjoyed both your company over many years. May god bless you and your family thru these times of sorrow.
Dennis and Peg Whitham
