It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Isabelle Heafey Wilkie on June 5, 2025. She was the daughter of the late Madeleine Forget and the late Russell Heafey. She is survived by her loving husband Kenneth Wilkie (55 years). Her sisters: Claire, Jocelyne (late Jean-Guy Legault), Monique, Lorraine (René Loyer) and her brothers Michel and Gilbert. She will be dearly missed by her goddaughter Annie, her husband Ion and her children Nicola and Ana, who were like grandchildren to her. As well as numerous nieces and nephews, great-grandnieces and nephews, and many friends who were so important to her.
A celebration of her life will take place on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Beechwood Cemetery (280 Beechwood Ave, Ottawa ON K1L 8A6). A visitation will take place at 1 p.m., followed by the Celebration at 2 p.m.

I am so sorry to learn of Isabelle’s death. I knew, of course, that she was very ill. But my memories of her are of a warm, generous, human being. I was fortunate to work with her at Orleans Wood, I remember visiting her home and being asked to put on hand knitted slippers, being welcomed into the group, hearing Ken’s booming laughter. And in retirement being regaled with stories of their winter trips to Florida where Isabelle was a keen participant in line dancing. I moved away from Ottawa but would like to think I did not forget the warmth and zest for life of Isabelle and Ken. Thinking of all of you. Suzan
A lovely neighbor and friend that will be dearly missed.
