Ma chere Isabelle, nous allons beaucoup te manquer. Nous aimions nous rencontrer apres la danse a Place d'Orléans pour jaser et rire ensemble. Je me rapelle commant tu aimais organiser la salle du MIFO pour les soupers/dansant et l'hver tu partais pour la Floride. Tu nous revenais avec des petits bas pour mettre autour de nos souliers pour que ce soit glissant sur le plancher de danse. Tu étais vraiment impliquée au MIFO avec ton bénévolat Je n'oublierai pas ces petits gestes attentifs. Tu étais vraiment impliquée au MIFO avec ton bénévolat Adieu Isabelle ; que la paix soit avec toi. My sincere sympathies Ken as well as Isabelle's family.

Je suis très attristé par le départ d'Isabelle. Au MIFO, Isabelle a été une bénévole bien appréciée. C'était naturel de l'aimer puisqu'elle était accueillante, drôle et très facile d'approche. Je vais garder des bons souvenirs de mon temps passé auprès d'elle. Repose en paix ma chère Isabelle. Les anges t'accueillent à bras ouverts. ❤️

J’ai rencontré Isabelle à Orleans Wood en 1989. Elle était présente à mon shower de mariage, mes 2 showers de bébé et mon party de retraite. Je vais manquer son amitié, son support et sa présence dans ma vie quotidienne. My deepest condolences to her husband, Ken and her family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Isabelle through line dancing at MIFO. During our initial conversation we realized that we both spent our winters in Florida and that we did our shopping in Lakeland. Isabelle is a genuine and classy person. Sincere condolences to Ken, family and all her friends. Isabelle will be remembered. Godspeed xx
We were saddened to hear of Isabelle's passing. I worked with Isabelle, Mme Wilkie, at Orleans Wood Elementary School for many years. She was known by her students, colleagues and parents in the community as a knowledgeable, fair educator who had a lovely sense of humour. Isabelle will be missed by many. Our sincere condolences to Ken and family... ♥️
