Isabel was born November 20, 1926 in San Jose, Costa Rica, C.A. to Daniel and Esther Montero. Isabel was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Humberto N. Brocato. They immigrated to the United States in 1952 and began their journey to citizenship as residents of New Orleans, Louisiana. After several years of acclimating to life in America, she graduated from Neyrey Business School and began employment as a secretary for O’Donnell Brothers Printing Company in New Orleans. Isabel retired as secretary to the president after 20 years of service to the company.
In 2005, the city of Huntsville welcomed Isabel after losing her home and possessions to Hurricane Katrina. Isabel loved her friends and relatives in the Old Town neighborhood, but health issues caused her to relocate to Magnolia Trace Assisted Living in 2019. A devout Catholic, Isabel was a parishioner of Holy Spirit Catholic Church and was a frequent visitor to the Adoration Chapel.
Visitation will be held Tuesday, March 2, 2021, from 8:30 to 9:30 AM at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. A rosary will be said at 9:30 AM to be followed by a funeral mass at 10:00 AM.
