Isabell was an avid water color artist, a hobby she began after her husband's death in October 1990, and has for the past five years painted her original Christmas card. Many of her paintings hang in the homes of her family and friends. Isabell loved life, her family and her Church family.

The nurses who cared for her, particularly on 3SE, talked often about her gentle spirit and quick wit.
