ISABELLA SINCLAIR ROBERTSON Peacefully, on Saturday, July 29, 2000, at Park Manor Personal Care Home, Miss Isabella Robertson, aged 97 years, passed into the loving arms of the Lord. Isabella was predeceased by her parents, John and Margaret Robertson; brother, Clark Robertson; sisters, Jean Robertson, Norma Meade, Louise Pierce, and Violet Ashley; nephew, Jim Rathwell. Isabella will be sadly missed, but fondly remembered by her two sisters, Mary Cole and Lily Rathwell; nephews, John Rowe, Dennis Rathwell, Wayne and John Pierce; nieces, Shirley Stokes, Joan and Gail (Robertson), and countless friends. Isabella was born October 1, 1902, in Rosser, Manitoba. After high school, Isabella got her teaching degree. She taught in some rural Manitoba communities early in her career, but the majority of her teaching career was spent at Victory School, teaching the elementary grades. Isabella taught with honour and distinction for more than 40 years, retiring gracefully at 65. Isabella was also very accomplished at crocheting, needlepoint, and pettipoint. Numerous relatives and friends received gifts of these crafts that she so lovingly created. The family and friends of Isabella wish to express our extreme gratitude to Julia, Rita, Barb, Theresa, Nadine, Sharilyn, and all the staff at Park Manor Personal Care Home for their wonderful, exceptional nursing care, and the tremendous love and support of Isabella for the three years that she was there. A Memorial Service for Isabella will be held on Wednesday, August 2, 2000, at 12:30 p.m., at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue. A reception for family and friends will follow in the Chapel Lawn Reception Centre. Arrangements entrusted to: CHAPEL LAWN FUNERAL HOME CEMETERY AND CREMATORIUM 885-9715
