She loved gardening, and growing vegetables were her favorite. She also enjoyed cooking for family and friends. She was famous for her peanut butter cookies, fruit cocktail cake, and lemon bundt cake. She especially enjoyed hosting the family Thanksgiving dinner for 69 years at her home. Isabell wanted to thank everyone for the kind and thoughtful things you have done for her throughout her life.
