Isobel Smith Obituary
SMITH (Thalman) Isobel Hope July 6, 1925 - November 14, 2010 It is with great sadness that we announce Isobel's passing. Our Angel is now free of pain and is with her husband Jack (predeceased 2009). Isobel was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and moved to B.C. in 1958. Mom and Dad were married for almost 59 years. They were the happiest when they were together. Isobel is survived by daughter Sheila (Greg), sons Murray, Alan, and Jeffrey: grandchildren Tara (Dave), Derek (Kyla), and Shaylene: great granddaughters Avril and Sophia. Isobel will be sorely missed by all those who had the good fortune to have known her. We will all miss her brilliant smile, her positive energy, and her loving, giving nature. Our Mom was one special Lady and her spirit will live on in each of us. God only takes the best and holds them close. We love you Mom. The family would like to sincerely thank Dr. C. Fernandes and his staff for their kindness, compassion, and medical care of Isobel. Also thank-you to the staff at Greystone Manor in Maple Ridge for always being there for Mom and making her life so much happier. Thanks Chris for always being such a wonderful friend to Isy. Service to be held on Saturday, November 20th at 1:00PM at St. John the Divine Anglican Church, 21299 River Road, Maple Ridge. Donations may be sent to RMH Foundation, c/o Ridge Meadows Hospital.

Jeff brought me to meet his mom Isobel about a year & a half ago, unfortunately it was at her husband John's memorial service. I knew right away that I liked her, even at that sad time, I could see she was a very wise, warm & loving woman. I admired how strong & couragous she was. I never got to see her a whole lot, but I did have the opportunity to visit her just 2 weeks ago in hospital, & looking in her eyes she looked so sad & worn out. I was able to tell her how much I admired her courage, & the wonderful job she did raising her family. I promised her I'd take good care of her baby Jeff, & then I told her it had been a honor to have met her.
You're forever in my heart,
Isobel
