Isabel loved sewing. She opened and operated The Sewing Basket in Dundalk for many years. She enjoyed working and was a very gifted sewer and crafter. Even as her health was failing, she made sure her sewing machine and supplies were packed and moved with her. Over the years she also enjoyed camping and going to the cottage. Above all, she loved her family and the memories made together.
A Funeral Service will be conducted on Friday, November 13, 2026, at the Mount Forest United Church, 175 Queen Street East, Mount Forest, at 1:00 p.m., followed immediately by a reception and time of visitation and fellowship in the church hall. Private interment at Mount Forest Cemetery. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Isabel are asked to consider the Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation or the Mount Forest United Church.
Condolences
R.I.P. young lady.
May the family keep her in their hearts, cherish the memories and live on in her honour.
I only met her once yet feel honoured to have shared the Christmas spirit with her as Santa.
May her Christmas spirit live on.
I am so sorry to hear of Isabel's passing. I so appreciated her wisdom and wit. Thinking of her friends and family at this time.

We would like to extend our sincere and deepest condolences on the loss of your mom…..she will always have a special place in my memories, we had soo many laughs and great times during our day care years together. She was” Mrs.P” to me and I was “Annie” to her, we bowled together for a season with both your parents, and was amazed at how she got that heavy ball down the alley, and her being soo little, but she did it!!!
She was a great person, and I will always remember our friendship with much fondness.
Sending our condolences to Isabel's family.
