She later moved to California and retired from Lockheed. Isabel shared 63 loving years of marriage with her husband, Joaquin, and together they raised five children in Milpitas: Fabian, Junior, Adam, Paula, and Carmen.
A devoted grandmother and great-grandmother, she cherished her family deeply. A faithful Catholic, she prayed the rosary daily and enjoyed cooking, hosting family gatherings, crafts, travel, shopping, and casino trips with her comadre Bertha.
Isabel will be remembered for her strength, faith, generosity, and unwavering love for her family.
