Davis: Isabelle Iris (Ferguson) Davis, age 78, of Kyle, lost her battle with cancer and passed away Wednesday, July 22, 2015 at the Kyle Health Centre with her daughter by her side. The memorial service was held at 2:00 pm Tuesday, July 28, 2015 from the Clearwater Cemetery with Shirley Wilson officiating. Honorary pallbearers were all who shared in her life. Isabelle is survived by her 4 children, Stanley, Denise Kelk (Ken), Steven, Wesley (Wendy), 2 grandchildren, Christopher Davis (Jaclyn), Robin Kelk (Jesse Houston) and 3 great-grandchildren, Brady, Lauryn, and Emilee Davis, 2 brothers, Donald Jr. of Kyle and Neil of Kelowna, B.C., 2 sisters, Margaret Fuller of Swift Current and Eda Hovland of Kyle and many nieces and nephews. Isabelle was predeceased by her parents, Donald Sr. on May 2, 1966 and Viola on March 6, 1987, and her husband Clarence (Red) on December 5, 1983. Isabelle was born at Tuberose, Sk. on January 11, 1937. Her parents resided in the Horse Butte district where her mother taught school. She attended the Horse Butte School until grade 5 and then travelled with her mother and younger brother Neil to various teaching locations until she finished school. She returned to Kyle after finishing school and became employed as a housekeeper until she married Clarence Davis on October 21, 1957 and started her family. In 1971, Red found work at a pulp mill and the family relocated to Prince Rupert, B.C. Isabelle was employed as a housekeeper at a motel until 1975 when a union strike at the pulp mill prompted a move back to Kyle. Upon returning in 1975, Isabelle worked at the Kyle Hotel and in 1989 began working part time at the Kyle Health Centre in the dietary and laundry departments. After leaving the Hotel in 1998, she worked full-time at the Health Centre until her retirement in 2002. Throughout her retirement, Isabelle enjoyed spending more time with her family, getting lots of hugs from her great-grandchildren, travelling to places she had always wanted to visit, and volunteer work with the Communities in Bloom Committee and at the Thrift Store in Kyle. Isabelle will be remembered as a sincere, quiet, caring daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend who thought of others before herself. Donations to the "Wandering Garden" at the Kyle Health Centre will be appreciated by the family. Culham/Bowers Funeral arrangements entrusted with the arrangements.
