Isabelle used her spiritual gifts of compassion and mercy by visiting those who could not attend worship at the churches she attended. While living in Florida she served as a Stephen Minister/Stephen Leader who trained others to listen, love, encourage and give hope to those going through difficult times. For 18 years she volunteered in the office at a mission agency, ECHO, in Fort Myers, FL where missionaries were trained in agriculture. She and her husband served on several short-term mission trips to Alaska, Mexico and India.
She loved to cross-stitch and made pictures for family and friends and enjoyed those Thursday afternoons with the GSV cross-stitch group. Tuesday and Friday evenings were full of fun and laughter playing Weirdo with Garden Spot Village friends.
She was a member of the Community Church at Garden Spot Village where she and her husband have lived for the past 6 years.
