RACHEL ISABELLA (ISABEL) KOSSATS (nee STOTHERS) June 25, 1900 - January 15, 2002 It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce Isabels death at Golden West Centennial Lodge. Isabel is survived by her brother Ira Stothers (Georgina) of White Rock, BC; daughters, Margaret Buchanan (Don Ellis) and Barbara Miller (Gerry Dureault) grandchildren, Gordon Buchanan (Marcy), Deborah Buchanan (Mike Jaques), Dawn Buchanan (Gerhard Dekker), Sonia Babyak and Janice Durham; great-grandchildren, Rachel, Jesse, Sam, Autumn, Haley, Aaron, Orion, Andrea and Noble. Isabel was predeceased by her husband Gordon, in 1989; sister Margaret and brothers, William, John, Stephen and Thomas. Isabel was born in Lucknow, Ashfield Township, ON, and was the eldest of seven children. As a young woman, she worked as a seamstress in Regina where she met and married her husband, Gordon, in 1936. As a member of Crescent Fort Rouge Church for over 50 years, Isabel was particularly active in the Womens Auxiliary and counted many of the members of Circle 9 as close friends. An expert craftswoman, Isabel took great pleasure in making objects of beauty, which she gave to family and friends. She was also the family kinkeeper and will be missed by many loving relatives of the Stothers and Nixon families. The family wishes to thank the third floor staff of Golden West Centennial Lodge for their kind and loving care over the last several years. In celebration of her life, a memorial service will be held at Golden West Centennial Lodge on January 19, 2002 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Isabels name may be made to the charity of your choice.
