Isabelle (who in her later years preferred to be called Isabella when she discovered that to be her baptismal name) was a headstrong lady with a joyful spirit & a love for the good old days & the ways things used to be. She was very dedicated to her Catholic faith & a long-standing member of Holy Angels parish in San Angelo, Texas, where she resided for 50+ years. At the insistence of her children, she moved into an assisted living facility in the DFW Metroplex & enjoyed her last years being close to the folks that meant the most to her. At Holy Angels Church, she participated in the quilting group & the Fifties Plus group where she enjoyed playing cards & dominoes. She was an accomplished seamstress & avid reader, loved to crochet, took pride in her yard & maintained a home with a door that was always open to family & friends. Isabelle was a staunch Cowboys & Texas Rangers fan, loved country music & kept up with current affairs. The family sincerely thanks her caregivers at Villagio of Carrollton. Special thanks to the Eucharistic ministers from St. Catherine of Siena parish in Carrollton, Texas for their dedicated spiritual service to Isabelle & the other Catholic residents at Villagio. Isabelle will be greatly missed & forever loved by her family & friends.
