Jacquelin Fihn Isaac

Jacquelin (Jackie) Fihn Isaac, devoted to her family and appreciated for her efforts in human service, died March 16th of natural causes, embraced at home by her family. She was 85. Born in St. Louis on July 6, 1927 to Alexander Fihn and Kitty Blumenthal Fihn, "Jojo" (as she was known by St. Louis friends throughout her life) attended Clayton High School and Connecticut College. She moved to Columbus in 1948 for love and life: to marry Arthur J. Isaac, Jr. Jackie and Artie raised four children: Kitty Isaac Croke, Dory Isaac Martin, Patty Isaac Zimmerman, and Artie Isaac. She is survived by Kitty, Dory and Artie, and their families: Tim Croke, Kevin and Monica Croke, Brian Croke, Alex Croke, Marcia Zimmerman, Joe Martin, Jesse Martin, Sam Martin, Alisa Isaac, Helen Isaac, Duncan Isaac - and Beauregard, the dog she inherited from her beloved older brother, Zander Fihn. Jackie so admired her friends. They inspired her and filled her with joy and purpose. Any listing of friends here would be incomplete. The family gratefully acknowledges the loving expertise of her caretakers, Krystyna Ganowska and Michela Di Santillo. Contributions would be welcome to the Arthur J. and Jacquelin F. Isaac Fund at The Columbus Foundation, to Goodwill Columbus, or to the charity of your choice. And then, as Jackie would have done in your memory, go to Giuseppe's, have a nice dinner, and raise a glass to your own good fortune. Memorial service Monday, March 18th, 10 am at Schoedinger Midtown Chapel 229 E. State St.
