It is still hard to believe Isabel has left us. I moved to Raleigh nine years ago and I believe Isabel moved into my subdivision three months after I did. I remember telling her I thought she would love it here. How right I was. She loved her new home and worked so hard to develop a magnificent garden, decorate for the holidays and do whatever was needed to make her home stand out. We marveled at how many neighbors she knew and spoke to. When asked how she knew so many she would say I speak to people and get to know them. Isn't that how it should be? Yes Isabel that is how it should be and you certainly did it the right way. I admired and respected your outlook on life. You always kept strong despite some health trials. On Sundays you would attend your beloved church always dressed so nicely. You were very involved in the activities of the church and worked to help those who needed the church's help. Bravo. You were indeed a good and faithful servant of the Lord. I pray God will bless your dear soul with eternal peace. May He comfort and strengthen your loved ones. May Patricia, Karen, Michael and Mark be proud. Rest in peace dear friend. We shall remember and miss you always. I smile now when I recall how you would tease me about New Yorkers who live in tall buildings with small apartments one on top of each other. Whenever I return to New York I laugh and as I admire those new beautiful buildings I relate to my friends and family how Isabel thought of them.

Isabel was a Regional President in the East Coast Region of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Fleet Reserve Association.  Everyone who ever knew Isabel in this organization loved her, especially for her sense of humor.  When we were with Isabel we were never sure what fun thing was coming next. She surely will be missed by many.  Our condolences to Isabel's family.

My sincere condolences to the family. It is truly a blessing Isabel lived a long life because so many people will never see her age. It remind me of Psalms 90:10 "the span of our life is 70 or 80 if one is especially strong. I know her memories will forever live on in the hearts of all she has touched over the years.

Isabelle was a dear and beloved neighbor to all on Finsbury Court.  Walking her wonderful dog, Tina, she met many others here at Cambridge Oaks over the years.  All appreciated her positiveness, insights, wisdom and friendly conversational engagement.  Isabelle loved her country.  Each military holiday she and another neighbor installed American Flags around the perimeter of Finsbury Court.  She appreciated making a home warm, decorating inside and out with art painted by her late husband, bird houses, flowers and shrubs.  Her children, Patricia, Karen and Michael are extended our sincere sympathy.  Losing a parent is so very difficult.  Please know we all care.

Friends on Finsbury
