Isabel was a home maker and a graduated seamstress who supported her husband, Julio, during his Military and U.S Post Office career, but most importantly, she wonderfully raised four sons whom followed their father's footsteps and served in the Military. She loved singing, dancing, sewing, creating arts and crafts and was passionate in teaching others to do arts and crafts so they could create beautiful things and help themselves financially without asking for anything in return...She was blessed and blessed others as well. Julio and Isabel loved to travel, going camping with family and friends, thus forging a family unity that lasts to this day. She loved to entertain in her former and beautiful country home in Cidra, P.R. Friends and family loved to visit and having family reunions. Many memories were forged in her home that will not be forgotten for generations to come.
