Predeceased by her loving husband Charlie and sister Velma Reed. Isabelle, a young-at-heart lady, will be lovingly remembered by sister Margaret Herder, nieces Shelley Reed Choquer, Margie Gray (Mark), Sheryl Reed Wells (Bob), Kathleen Campbell (Tom Burdge) and Russell family and Catherine McCloy and family. Great nieces and nephews, Champagne (Eric Szeto), Chanel, and Cameo Choquer, Myles and Melissa Gray, Lauren, Sarah and Jamie Wells. Cousins John Shiels and family, Nan and Ian More, Dora and Pat Connolly plus many Campbell relatives in Australia.
She will live on in the hearts of several life-long friends, her extended “families”; friend of 81 years Helen Easthope and family, the Petrie-Duthie-Webbs, the Johnson-Smiskos, Brown’s Delivery Boys, the McIntoshs & her Church family.
Isabelle was devoted to her friends and family and they to her. She touched many people with her infectious humour, charm and verve for life. Born in Vancouver, raised in the Fraser St area, she worked at her family’s store, Browns Market on E 37th Ave and Windsor St. In 1958 she married Charlie and moved to White Rock for a year which became 55 years, creating more friendships. She belonged to the Peace Arch Weavers Society, a craft and group which brought her great pleasure, for over 40 years.
There is a huge hole now in the fabric of our families with Isabelle’s passing. It will be mended with tears, laughter and sharing many fond memories we have of this great woman.
Many thanks to the Staff at Peace Arch Hospital 6 North and Day Surgery for their compassion, support and excellent care they gave to Isabelle.
A Service of Celebration for the life of Isabelle will be held at St John’s Presbyterian Church, 1480 George St, White Rock, BC on Sat, Oct 12th at 1 pm. In lieu of flowers please consider donations to Peace Arch Hospital Foundation (www.pahfoundation.ca), Canadian Blood Services (www.blood.ca) or a charity of your choice.
